From the heart of Napa Valley, this Cabernet Franc expresses both the power and elegance that the region can bring to this varietal. Sourced from the historic Detert family vineyard, the wine captures the essence of Napa's unique terroir—sun-drenched days balanced by cool nights, creating a wine that is both rich and nuanced.

Bright aromas of blackberries, plums, and currants give way to herbal notes of sage and a touch of tobacco, adding complexity and depth to the nose. On the palate, the fruit is ripe and vibrant, yet the tannins are soft and velvety, providing a refined structure. Subtle hints of spice and earthy minerality linger, rounding out the wine’s character and giving it a long, smooth finish.

This Cabernet Franc is perfect for those who appreciate a wine that combines bold fruit flavors with an elegant, sophisticated edge. Whether paired with roasted meats, grilled vegetables, or a selection of fine cheeses, it is versatile enough to complement a wide range of dishes. Ready to enjoy now, yet with the structure to age gracefully for years to come, this wine is a beautiful example of Napa’s take on this classic varietal.

Antonio Galloni

"The 2021 Cabernet Franc is gorgeous. Crushed flowers rose petals mint blood orange spice and mocha lend notable aromatic brilliance to this mid-weight refreshing offering from Detert. Bright acids pull it all together in style. - By Antonio Galloni on December 2023 Tom Garrett turned out a gorgeous set of 2021s at his family?s estate in Oakville. In recent years Garrett has emphasized a bit more freshness in his approach and that?s a positive as the wines seem to have plenty of richness on their own. Things were more complicated in 2022 when the fruit had to be picked in the middle of the Labor Day heat spike. Right now the 2022s are on the lighter side. It will be interesting to see how they develop. However the real news here is that several of the best winemakers in Napa Valley are about to gain access to this fruit now that a lease held by another winery has expired. When that happens quality often goes up for all involved because of friendly competition and shared learning." -Vinous
