About the wine
A classic red with finesse
- This refined Sonoma Cabernet drips with brambly blackberries, black cherries and raspberry preserves – and really shows off the hallmarks of the region. The perfect finishing touch? Fine oak aging.
- This vintage is special – it comes from Sonoma, with love. Daniel harvested Cabernet from the renowned Robert Young Vineyard and Vadasz Vineyard in Sonoma Valley. While he’s famous for working with Napa vineyards (Daniel headed Silver Oak and Dominus in previous years!), your funding sent him to Sonoma when he lost his Napa fruit due to the 2020 wildfires.
- “My goal with the Francophone is to make wines that are fruit-driven, vibrant and smooth,” says Daniel. What he says is what you get – a perfect anytime Cabernet to drink in its youth and for years to come.
Best before
This wine will age well for 10 years or so if stored at the proper temperature in a cellar or wine fridge.
Serving advice
In the first year after release, it may benefit from being decanted, but this is a personal decision. Try it both from the bottle and decanted and see what you prefer.
Food match
Grilled lamb chops with zucchini, oven roasted free range chicken with scalloped potatoes and marinated hanger steak with elote (Mexican street corn).
