Cabernet Franc

Cabernet Franc is our signature wine. This variety harkens from the St. Emilion region of Bordeaux, France, a region noted for its earthy, aromatic plush wines. Our Cabernet Franc vines are situated on a southwest exposed slope of sandy loam terroir, a site that allows it to attain its greatest potential, producing fruit that displays the character of this varietal.

This Cabernet Franc with its spicy cherry and cocoa exhibits clean earthy aromas that are distinctly French in style. Medium dark ruby color with cherry tone edges, the aromas are of subtle oak, cassis and spice.

The front palate is young and firm with chalk and cherry dominating the mid-palate. The finish is persistent and ripe with soft tannins. Silver Decoy Cabernet Franc needs 2 to 5 years of cellaring to reach its potential . . . but can be hedonistically enjoyed now.

Enjoy with grilled beef, venison and duck.
