| Description: | <p class="MsoNormal">Stagecoach Vineyard is the largest of the three sites used by The Debate team and the one with the most elevation. The long hang time allowed for a most powerful expression of Cabernet Franc. Stagecoach Vineyard has amazing structure, strength and power yet an elegant softness and accessibility. It features a shiny, deep red cherry color with garnet and red on the rim. The nose is beautiful sweet candied cherries with plum and touches of roses, raspberries and pencil shavings, lingering on sun-dried tomatoes. The palate is round with a dark fruit entrance evolving on a framed mid palate with macerated cherries and potpourri, lingering on peaches, red cherry and a framed tannic structure with freshly picked lilac and chalk. 100% Barrel Fermented, 20 days on skins. Aged 22 months, 80% new French oak.

Medium to full-bodied on the palate, this spicy, complex, up-front, and beautifully textured Cabernet Franc is going to evolve for 15-20 years if stored correctly. It's another impressive Cabernet Franc from Napa Valley<o:p></o:p></p> |
