| Description: | Winemaker Notes\r\nEffusively aromatic wine, notes of dark cherry, a little plum, dried herbs and an engaging earthiness that reminds one of Autumn. On the palate, the flavors are similar with rich plum, \u2018sois bois\u2019 (forest floor) and bell pepper impressions. It is medium weight, carrying refreshing tartness and savory notes to a long, smooth finish.\r\nAbout Lang & Reed Winery\r\nLang & Reed Napa Valley is family owned and operated. We have an undeniable passion for making small lots of Cabernet Franc and Chenin Blanc.\r\nTracey & John Skupny, started Lang & Reed Napa Valley in 1993 with the goal to explore the distinct charms of Cabernet Franc and to craft wines that are both expressive and enjoyable to drink.\r\nThe foundation of our wine experience began almost half a century ago while working in the restaurant trade in Kansas City. Having attained positions as wine stewards (sommeliers), the lure of vineyards and wineries brought us to California in 1980, settling finally in the Napa Valley by 1984.\r\nDuring our wine \u2018foundation\u2019 years, we became intrigued by the magnitude of distinction Cabernet Franc held from notable wine regions in France: Loire Valley and Bordeaux. The early 80\u2019s in Napa Valley found vintners utilizing Bordeaux varieties as components of their red wine blends, and Cabernet Franc was a key varietal. Its critical contribution led us to explore the broad range of aromatics and flavors emerging from Cabernet Franc. In 1993, a prototype was crafted that was true to type, redolent in aroma, and pure in flavor, all the while maintaining balance and structure. Lang & Reed Napa Valley was born, and the rest is history.\r\nNamed after our two sons, J Reed and Jerzy Lang, we committed to having Lang & Reed Napa Valley be strictly family owned and operated. Winemaking has become storytelling for us, and our wines tell the story of our family and our wonderful life together. |
