2021 Cabernet Franc
2021 Cabernet Franc
A rare and exceptional release, the 2021 Boyd Family Vineyards Cabernet Franc is only the third stand-alone vintage Stan has ever bottled, reserved for years when the fruit reaches an extraordinary level of depth and character. Sourced from our estate in the Oak Knoll District, this wine showcases the finesse and intensity that make Cabernet Franc so captivating.
Deep ruby in the glass, the nose opens with layers of blackberry, wild raspberry, and black cherry, woven with delicate floral notes of violet and hints of peppered crushed herbs. On the palate, it is beautifully structured, offering a balance of bright acidity and fine-grained tannins that frame the rich, dark fruit flavors. Subtle undertones of graphite, baking spice, and cacao add complexity, leading to a long, elegant finish.
A wine of precision and power, this limited release is a testament to Stan’s meticulous craftsmanship and the unique expression of our vineyard. Cellar-worthy yet incredibly inviting now, it’s a must-have for collectors and Cabernet Franc enthusiasts alike.
