2022 Arnot-Roberts Cabernet Franc, Watson Ranch, Napa, California, United States
$49.99
Watson Ranch Vineyard is perched on a steep hillside overlooking the San Pablo Bay at the southernmost end of the Napa Valley. The ranch was named after early Napa attorney, Augustus Watson, who owned the property in the early 1900s. Exposed and unprotected from the elements, this wind-whipped site was planted in 1993 by the talented Napa Valley veteran grower Salvador Ramos. The Cabernet Franc comes from a single acre planted in 2014. Soils at Watson Ranch are composed of calcareous clay over limestone. This soil type is extremely rare on the North Coast but shows itself in a narrow fin at the tail end of the Vaca Mountains in Southern Napa County.
The Cabernet Franc was fermented with 100% stems using all native yeasts. Aged in neutral, French oak barrels for 10 months.
