Repris 2016 Cabernet Franc

Repris 2016 Cabernet Franc
Cabernet Franc has carved a pivotal niche for itself in Repris winemaking. Not only does it play a critical role in our Left Bank, Right Bank and Momtazee blends, but in this bottling it shines entirely on its own with the balance and tension that have come to define Moon Mountain Vineyard. Cabernet Franc’s exacting demands require ample daytime heat to ripen, tempered by cool evenings to preserve its limited acidity. Once satisfied, the resulting wine is a collector’s gem – rich, savory and intensely concentrated, with precise tannins and a lengthy finish.

Winemaker Notes

Cab Franc is the variety that most clearly defines Moon Mountain Vineyard to me. Eight distinct blocks planted at various elevations between 1,000 and 1,800 feet above sea level push a feral, savory-forward profile in a sleek silhouette that is unlike Cabernet Franc grown anywhere else.
