2005 Alexander Valley Cabernet Franc

Kendall-Jackson 3, a splendid Cabernet Franc from the esteemed 2005 vintage, showcases the rich character of the Alexander Valley. This delightful red wine presents with a medium-bodied profile that balances elegance and structure beautifully. The acidity is bright and mouthwatering, adding a refreshing quality that enhances its overall appeal. Its fruit intensity is prominent, bringing forth luscious notes of dark cherry and blackcurrant, which are complemented by subtle hints of herbal undertones and a touch of spice. The tannins are notable yet polished, providing a firm backbone that supports the wine's vibrant personality. This offering is decidedly dry, making it an excellent choice for pairing with hearty dishes or simply savoring on its own for a memorable experience.

Region:


Sonoma County
Sonoma County

Many of California's world-class wines come from Sonoma County, separated from Napa by the Mayacamas Mountains. Three times the size of Napa, Sonoma is an incredibly diverse region. Cool coastal zones, fog-cloaked hillsides, sheltered valleys and craggy exposed peaks give Sonoma a vast array of terroirs and microclimates. Its many sub-regions produce a broad range of styles: from the bold Cabernets of Alexander Valley to the fragrant Pinots of Sonoma Coast and the sublime Chardonnays of Chalk Hill.
