2017 Pocai Vineyard Cabernet Franc
Pocai Vineyard
This single vineyard is from the oldest part of our land. The bright red fruit of strawberries, raspberries, and cherries enhances the mouthful. The structure is apparent in this wine and is full of mocha and butterscotch notes. A combination of earth and hints of roses and pepper pull this wine together.

Tasting Notes
The Cabernet Franc from our oldest vineyard, Pocai has also become Betty Ballentine’s favorite wine. Bright red fruit of strawberry, raspberries and cherries enhance the mouthful. The structure is apparent in this young wine and is full of mocha and butterscotch notes. A combination of earth and hints of roses and pepper pull this wine together.
