Winemaker Notes

Viticulture: Farmed using organic methods. Vinification: The Cabernet Franc was fermented with 100% stems using all native yeasts. Aging: Aged in neutral, French oak barrels for 10 months. Production: 7 barrels produced. Vineyard: Watson Ranch Vineyard is perched on a steep hillside overlooking the San Pablo Bay at the southernmost end of the Napa Valley. The ranch was named after early Napa attorney, Augustus Watson, who owned the property in the early 1900s. Exposed and unprotected from the elements, this wind-whipped site was planted in 1993 by the talented Napa Valley veteran grower Salvador Ramos. The Cabernet Franc comes from a sigle acre planted in 2014.

Professional Ratings

91 Vinous

The 2024 Cabernet Franc Watson Ranch is a very pretty, intensely aromatic wine. This cold, late-ripening site yields an especially fragrant Franc. It's a style that is pushed to the limit in terms of its slightly vegetal quality, but the wine has just enough balance to pull it all together. Dark-toned fruit, lavender, licorice and rose petal linger. I would like to see if this can be picked riper
