Every release from Halcyon seems to keep getting better and this intro-level Cabernet Franc is no different. Sourced largely from the sandy soils of Contra Costa County, fermented with native yeasts, aged in neutral barrels, and never fined nor filtered. What would Cabernet Franc taste like if it had a Pinot Noir sensibility? Pull a bottle of your ice bucket, pop the cork, and find out.
After biding his time at California’s iconic Paso Robles winery, Tablas Creek, the Elwell’s took the domestic wine scene by storm, producing wines from one grape and one grape only: Cabernet Franc. It wasn’t just the wines of France’s Loire Valley that influenced their devotion to the grape but Tyler’s early discovery of what more moderate climates on the West Coast could accomplish with it. In addition to their very drinkable California appellation bottling, they also produce single-vineyard expressions and Blanc of Cabernet Franc that is simply irresistible.
