A wine that speaks of its origins, Robert’s Cabernet Franc derives its complexity each vintage from the red volcanic soil of the highest vineyard blocks at Oakville Ranch, reflecting notes of the surrounding chaparral and sage. A break in the drought and moderate temperatures in 2016 allowed optimum ripening, and the nose of this wine is richly perfumed, with aromas of violet and lilac backed by fresh herbal notes. On the palate, this wine is balanced and voluptuous, displaying ripe fruit flavors dominated by black currant and plum, with undertones of sweet baking spices and cocoa.
