By now, you likely know the story of The Debate. An instant culty hit, its mission every vintage is to seek out three different single vineyards with three different expressions of Napa Valley dirt, making them in the same way, to point out the incredible diversity of terroir we enjoy here. Based on the critical reviews, The Debate is clearly excelling! This is the first ever release of Cabernet Franc and the results are pretty stunning. Cab Franc is having a moment right now and when you taste these you'll know why. These are WORLD-CLASS!
Rockstar winemaker Jean Hoefliger is a huge star on the rise (well, not just on the rise, already a rockstar, really) crafting the wines of Alpha Omega, AXR, Sunshine Valley and Clark Claudon in Napa, Monteverro in Tuscany and Perinet in Priorat. He is also entrusted with making the wine of his mentor, Michel Rolland, which is quite the endorsement. We are totally stoked to have a few boxes of the amazing 2016 CABERNET FRANC 3-packs to offer you. This is quite simply head-spinning stuff: get out all your adjectives and adverbs, and maybe a “dude, GNARLY!!” as each amazing wine just washes over you with pure, sexy Cabernet Franc fruit. We loved all three wines, but the Stagecoach was an absolute knockout and our favorite of the three right now. Debate for yourself, but all three of these are killer...a new bar has been set for Cab Franc in the Napa Valley!
This is extremely limited and ONLY sold as a 3-pack (one of each). Beautifully boxed. Add this amazing rarity to your cellar!! While it lasts……
