2021 Cabernet Franc
Our 2021 Cabernet Franc has an elegant floral nose, a medium body, ripe varietal fruit, balanced acidity, soft, mature tannins creating a rich, long lasting mouthfeel. This wine is presently showing ripe varietal fruit character including violets, blueberries, currants, maraschino cherries, as well as a dusty, chalky, earthiness reminiscent of previous Cabernet Franc vintages, and a nice hint of French oak. This wine was matured 14 months in 100% French oak and will age well 7-10 years.
In comparing the Boulder City Cabernet Franc to the River Rock version, I found the aromas and flavors remarkably similar. To my pallet I found the BC CF slightly higher in acidity and the RR CF slightly more structured giving a bolder mouth feel and slightly longer lasting finish. Both were very enjoyable. - Ted Kane, Owner/Winemaker
