In the heart of Oakville, where Cabernet Sauvignon typically reigns supreme, Tom Detert has quietly built a reputation as one of Napa Valley's most dedicated champions of Cabernet Franc. His family vineyards tell a compelling story of both heritage and renewal, anchored by the East Block's old vines that have been producing fruit since 1949.

The 2022 vintage represents Detert's commitment to showcasing this noble variety's distinctive character even in challenging conditions. While many producers struggled with the complexities of the 2022 growing season, Detert's deep understanding of his vineyard sites and decades of experience with Cabernet Franc allowed him to craft a wine that captures the variety's signature elegance and aromatic complexity.

This bottling exemplifies why serious collectors have begun to recognize Detert as an essential producer for understanding Cabernet Franc's potential in Napa Valley. The contrast between fruit from the historic East Block vines and the newly replanted West Block creates layers of complexity that speak to both the vineyard's storied past and its carefully planned future.

Professional Reviews

Antonio Galloni

AG 90
"The 2022 Cabernet Franc is a very good wine in this challenging harvest. Succulent dark cherry, blood orange, spice, cedar and new leather build nicely, framed by soft, succulent contours that wrap it all together. There is a lot of density here, but this is impeccably done. This fruit was brought in on September 10th." -Antonio Galloni
