The 2021 Quaker Run Cabernet Franc introduces a more pronounced intensity and notable savory character. This vintage captures the nuance of Quaker Run vineyard with its distinctive red stone fruits, forest floor and a unique toasted herb profile. Accenting these attributes are layers of red stone fruits, fig, black pepper, and dried marjoram. Quaker Run Cabernet Franc strikes a unique balance with its moderate density and fine persistent tannins, epitomizing precision and purity.

We like to say our approach to Cabernet Franc is more Burgundy than Bordeaux, meaning we look for silky rather than tannic structure and favour the aromatic potential of the grape over the flavour of the barrel. The result is a wine that leads with aromatic complexity, and strikes a balance of delicate texture and tannin. As a single vineyard offering, this Cabernet Franc is a refined and elegant homage to Quaker Run Vineyard’s natural expression of the land.
