The Ashes & Diamonds 2017 No. 4 Cabernet Franc is a snapshot of what this grape's true colors can be here at the southern end of Napa Valley. Both decadent and somehow elegant, this is a wine which will benefit from patience as more nuance and complexity is revealed with time. For now though, just decant for an hour and dive in.
Ashes & Diamonds, ‘a love letter to the Napa Valley of the 1960s,’ has set out to revive this storied era’s pioneering energy. Kashy Khaledi, whose father Darioush owns his own esteemed, eponymous winery near-by, built Ashes & Diamonds through collaboration, seeking the participation of Napa’s great contemporary voices in viticulture and enology. Kashy was compelled to investigate the nuances of the vineyard’s original plantings, Cabernet Franc and Merlot from 1986, and has meticulously done so through organic farming and restrained winemaking.
