ALAS Vini Napa Valley Cabernet Franc Oak Knoll District
Vibrant and aromatic, this Cabernet Franc opens with notes of wild raspberry, violets, and crushed herbs. On the palate, red plum and tart cherry unfold over a foundation of graphite, dried oregano, and subtle spice. Elegant tannins and a clean, mineral-driven finish reflect the cooler climate and deep alluvial soils of the Oak Knoll District.
The Big Ranch Vineyard, where our Cabernet Franc was harvested from lies just north of the town of Napa, where marine breezes from the San Pablo Bay temper the valley heat. This extended growing season allows Cabernet Franc to fully ripen while retaining its signature elegance and savory edge. The 2024 vintage brought a balanced growing season with mild temperatures and slow ripening, ideal for developing complexity and refined structure.
