KYSELA PERE ET FILS, LTD.

Our “Napa styled” Cabernet Franc offers all the classic notes of old-world Cabernet Franc in a bolder and more boisterous fashion than one might find in Bordeaux or the Loire Valley. Ripeness is the name of the game here as we let this fruit hang late into the growing season to ensure it develops rich depth of flavor beyond the harsh, stemmy green notes often found in young, under-ripe Cabernet Franc.
The 2022 vintage is beautifully complex, layered, and rich with character; only made more powerful thanks to the addition of a splash of Oakville Petit Verdot. Violets, blue fruits, walnut and a hint of green pepper on the nose seamlessly meld with a body showing blueberry, dark boysenberry, bitter chocolate, and a touch of dried herb. The tannins are fine but ever present providing beautiful structure and length.
