Wine Suggestions
Monticello Vineyards Estate Grown Cabernet Franc The Vintage 2003 Monticello Vineyards Estate Grown Cabernet Franc offers aromatics of spice, cloves and anise. The flavors follow berry, currant and little jam. The wine has a midweight attack, medium to full body. The tannins are well integrated and well balanced into the fruit and weight of the wine.
“Our inaugural Monticello Vineyards Cabernet Franc has been an exciting wine from the day we picked it,” says Winemaker Chris Corley. “Although we have been growing Cabernet Franc since 1992, it is the first vintage we have bottled on its own.”
Monticello Vineyards is located at 4242 Big Ranch Road in Napa. For more information, call (707) 253-2802 or go to www.corleyfomilynapavalley.com.
