2019 Caspar Estate Cabernet Franc
Caspar Estate Cabernet Franc is Caspar Estate's clearly identified Cabernet Franc bottling, with the site, appellation, cuvée, and format retained in the product name wherever supplied. Caspar Estate comes from an organically farmed hillside property above Rutherford, planted to Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Sauvignon Blanc, and Petit Verdot. The family also tends century-old Mission olives, fruit trees, gardens, and beehives on the estate. Cabernet Franc often combines red and dark fruit with floral, herbal, and mineral dimensions, making aromatic clarity as important as weight or concentration.
Serve it slightly below warm room temperature and use a generous glass, which helps the wine's perfume and finer structural details emerge without emphasizing alcohol. The variety and cuvée information carried in the product name provides the clearest frame for this bottle and keeps the release distinct within the producer's wider range. The standard bottle format works for a focused tasting or a meal, with glassware and service chosen to preserve the wine's balance and aromatic detail.
