<p>What a vintage to be able to make Cabernet Franc.&nbsp; Lovely rich fruit of dark cheery and currant, balanced with striking smoke and earthiness which is typical of Glacier Ridge Vineyards.&nbsp; This wine will age nicely for years to come, but is certainly enjoyable now. We started with ideally ripe fruit, 100% whole cluster inclusion, after fermentation was complete the wine was transferred to <span style="font-weight: 400;">older French oak barriques, and aged for roughly nine months before being bottled and allowed a few years before being released for sale.&nbsp;</span></p>
