Proprietor Cuvée

2007 Napa Valley Cabernet Franc

The Elizabeth Spencer Proprietor Cuvée is a stunning expression of Cabernet Franc from the renowned Napa Valley, showcasing the elegance and complexity that this varietal is celebrated for. In the glass, it presents a deep crimson hue, hinting at the richness within. On the palate, this full-bodied wine delivers a beautifully balanced experience, with vibrant acidity that adds a refreshing brightness to the richness of the fruit. The tannins are notable yet finely integrated, providing a firm structure that supports the wine's layers of flavor. Bright notes of black cherry, plum, and hints of herbal undertones create a complex flavor profile, while a touch of earthiness adds depth. This wine is beautifully dry, making it exceptionally food-friendly and an excellent choice for a variety of cuisines. The 2007 vintage is a delightful representation of the Napa Valley's capacity for producing world-class wines, and this Cabernet Franc is no exception, reflecting the care and craftsmanship that goes into each bottle.

Napa Valley

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.
