2012 Napa Valley Cabernet Franc

Anderson's Conn Valley Vineyards Block D Cabernet Franc from the 2012 vintage encapsulates the essence of Napa Valley with its beautifully rich red hue. This full-bodied wine offers a delightful balance of high acidity, creating a bright and lively experience that captivates the palate. The fruit intensity is pronounced, showcasing vibrant notes of blackcurrant and dark cherry, while subtle undertones of herbal spice add intrigue. Tannins are notable yet firm, providing structure without overshadowing the fruit. This wine is crafted in a dry style, making it a perfect companion for hearty dishes or an evening of enjoyment on its own.

Napa gained international acclaim following the Judgement of Paris in 1976, when its wines defeated its French counterparts in a blind tasting. Napa's signature wines are Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and various Bordeaux blends, but many other varieties, such as Pinot Noir, Zinfandel, Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc also thrive here. With 16 sub-AVAs and a Mediterranean climate with rich geology, Napa is a winemaker's dream. The winegrowing region runs between the Mayacamas Mountains and Vaca Mountains for 30 miles, from Calistoga to Los Carneros. Napa has a wide array of soil types for such a small region, from volcanic foothills to alluvial valley floors, which help to produce varied and complex wines.
