Loire-inspired California Cabernet Franc from a young Napa label finding its own lane. T. Berkley is Taylor Berkley Boydstun's project — Loire-trained, Northern California-sourced, focused only on Cabernet Franc and Chenin Blanc. The 2023 FRANC is the entry-tier appellation blend, drawing North Coast Cabernet Franc and treating it with restraint: native-yeast fermentation, roughly 25% whole cluster, then 11 months split between sandstone amphora and neutral French oak puncheons. The result steers well clear of jammy Napa cliché — savory, supple, chalky-tannined, with the leafy lift Cab Franc fans actually want. A serious-people California red built for the table, not the trophy case.

"This wine is concentrated with aromas of dark plum, baked boysenberry, dried leaves, and notes of black tea on the nose; the flavors on the palate are mulberry, youthful Bing cherry, dried tobacco leaf, sage leaf cascading into gritty tannins and a dry finish. pair with wood oven-fired lamb chops, potato purée, parsley, demi-glace" —Tonya Pitts
