2009 Paso Robles Cabernet Franc

The Ancient Peaks Jackpot Cabernet Franc from the 2009 vintage is a captivating expression from the Paso Robles region. Showcasing a medium-bodied profile, this red wine enchants with its vibrant acidity that tingles on the palate, making it a delightful choice for any occasion. The fruit intensity is prominent, offering luscious notes of black cherry and raspberry, while subtle hints of herbs and floral undertones elevate its complexity. Tannins are medium-firm, granting the wine structure without being overpowering, allowing for an approachable yet sophisticated taste experience. With a dry finish, this Cabernet Franc is a food-friendly option that pairs beautifully with grilled meats or a hearty pasta dish, making every sip a delightful journey.

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.
