2019 Heritage Cabernet Franc
Tinaquaic Vineyard - Old Vines
One of FOXEN's Heritage trio made from Dick & Bill's original 1989 plantings.
"The 2019 Cabernet Franc Tinaquaic Vineyard Heritage Collection showed well, with beautiful blue fruits and classic varietal floral and chocolate notes. Medium-bodied on the palate, it's balanced, has silky, fine tannins, and a great finish. It's beautifully done and a fabulous example of this variety coming out of Santa Barbara County. It should drink well for a decade, most likely longer." - JebDunnuck.com, 94 Points
"The 2019 Cabernet Franc Tinaquaic Vineyard Old Vines Heritage Club is sourced from a parcel of own-rooted vines. Savory and mineral notes take precedence over fruit in a wine that feels quite marked by heat. I prefer the straight Franc bottling for its greater balance." - Vinous, 91 Points
