<span style="font-weight: bold; color: #1E347C;">The WineSmith 2005 Cabernet Franc:</span><br>
Because of our “day job” as winemaking
consultants, we decided in 1993 to establish
this challenging grape as our signature varietal.
It’s a wine which requires skill to do well, and is
capable of great depth when properly made.
Since then, we have developed the reputation
for some of California’s best Cab Francs. This
is perhaps our finest effort to date.<br><br>
Joe Ramazotti’s living soil on the
Alexander Valley floor produces unusually lush
plum aromas and fine tannins, resulting in a
generous sweet core of fruit and very little
vegetal character. By contrast, Blue Rock
Vineyard’s nearby serpentine hillside gives us
an angular, aggressive component which frames
and lends definition to the blend. We blended
in Mark Lange’s impressive Lodi Cabernet
Sauvignon for a more fleshy structure and some
chocolaty aroma notes. During 15 months’
time in small French oak, the blend developed
intense spice aromas and mineral energy
classically associated with Chinon, but a
graceful structure and roundness more often
seen in St. Emillion.
<br><br>
Less muscular than our Cabernet
Sauvignon, our Franc nevertheless offers a
mouthful of spicey flavor depth which loves
firelight, wild mushrooms and roasted fowl.<br><br>
