This is classic and savory Cabernet Franc with notes of black cherry, cassis, leather and graphite. We cultivated this Chalk Hill vineyard by hand alongside our close friend, Nate, and James's father, Tony. Sandy white volcanic ash and minerals in the soil lend a richness to the wine that finishes with soft, dusty tannins. Native winemaking practices keep the wine pure and genuine. Enjoy this wine with a good cut of grilled meat or portabello mushrooms sprinkled with salt flakes and savory herbs.

This wine is part of the Anchor & Hope art series. The label is a painting by Massachusetts artist Kristin Stashenko, co-owner Marissa’s mom. For more information, please visit KristinStashenko.com.
