Writer's Block 2008 Cabernet Franc

Home > Wines > Eclectic Reds > Writer's Block 2008 Cabernet Franc

The percentage of Cabernet Franc (80%) in this wine lends an intrinsically varietal base. From this point, Syrah (12%), Merlot (6%), and Zinfandel (2%) each help to enhance the Cabernet Franc’s varietal qualities, while also playfully departing from them through the influence of their individual profiles. The winemaker’s intention here is that the Syrah, Merlot, and Zinfandel add a specific complexity of aromatic and flavor components that have made this a wine to be enjoyed by a broad spectrum of wine lovers. This blend highlights the ripeness and body of California fruit, creating a wine with a long finish and a rich, viscous mouthfeel.
