Estate Vineyards

2007 Santa Barbara County Cabernet Franc

The Lucas & Lewellen Estate Vineyards 2007 Cabernet Franc from Santa Barbara County is a delightful representation of this varietal, showcasing a medium-bodied structure that perfectly balances depth with elegance. Its vibrant red hue hints at the bright character within, and the wine presents a high acidity that invigorates the palate and enhances food pairings. The fruit intensity stands out with prominent notes of black currant and raspberry, complemented by subtle hints of herbs and spices that reveal the complexity of this well-crafted red. The tannins are notable yet smooth, offering a firm structure without overpowering the wine's finesse. This Cabernet Franc is well-dry, making it exceptionally food-friendly for a variety of occasions.

Central Coast

California's Central Coast might be a bit quieter than Napa or Sonoma to the north, but this lesser-known region produces many world-class wines. Enjoying incredible terroir along its vast 280-mile stretch—from San Francisco Bay to Santa Barbara—Central Coast wines are increasingly in demand. Its position between the Pacific Coast Ranges and the Southern Coast Ranges is key to its quality, with many cool-climate AVAs offering elegant Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Syrah and Merlot. In the hotter parts of the Central Coast, away from the coastal fogs and cold mountain slopes, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Syrah, Grenache and Mourvèdre are exceptional.
