We source our Cabernet Franc from a small vineyard in the Creston District, one of the best areas in Paso Robles for growing this classic Bordeaux variety. This district’s high river plain soils are gravelly by nature and riddled with
water-worn seabed deposits. This unique soil profile helps foster vine balance while delivering intense varietal flavors.
