BLACK SEARS

2021 Black Sears Estate Cabernet Franc

Originally planted in the 90s to blend with our Cabernet Sauvignon, we began to produce a 100% Cabernet Franc from the steep hillside vineyard at the behest of winemaker Thomas Brown in 2008. It may be our favorite wine now. Floral yet meaty and spicy, the Estate Cab Franc is Black Sears at its finest and most unique.

This wine is produced in very limited quantities of fewer than 100 cases per vintage, and is therefore allocated exclusively to members.
