Detert's 2018 Cabernet Franc is fabulous. It may very well be the single most expressive and distinctive Cabernet Franc in the valley. Deep and inky in the glass, the Detert Franc is marked by soaring aromatics and beams of saline minerality that distinguish it from the Cabernet Sauvignon in this range. Inky dark fruit, chocolate, spice, menthol, licorice and cloves build into the huge, resonant finish.

Fresh and pure in profile, with a cassis and cherry core that drives along nicely, flanked by a tobacco edge before lingering over tobacco and warm earth hints on the finish. Best from 2022 through 2030. 250 cases made.
