Cabernet Franc 2017

Cabernet Franc 2017

Once again nature smiled upon Virginia’s 2017 vintage and at Ramiiisol we celebrated another a stellar year! The grapes were picked on September 10 following a welcome generally dry season. The evening temperatures began to cool in mid-august, and some welcome rains fell the first week of September, priming the way for a brilliant harvest. So, 2017 allowed our living wines to be full of vitality, and exceptionally expressive of our terroir.

Our 2017 Cabernet Franc Classico was produced from carefully hand selected clusters within the Free Union block. It has classic Cabernet Franc characteristics with delicate tannins and a hint of oak following 4 ½ years of aging in Slovenian oak casks.

This single vineyard classico is a 100% blend from the best components of our Free Union Block. The wine aged 18 months in a 15hl cask before a portion was blended with the Buck Mountain block to produce the Riserva. The remaining wine, 100% from Free Union block, was returned to a 7.5hl cask where it aged an additional 3 years.

We have recently bottled our 2017 Cabernet Francs on a perfect biodynamic day to be ready for release in the Fall of 2022.

Bottles Produced: 996              Size: 750ml              Alcohol: 12.5%
