2021 Stagiaire 'Sequences & Series' Cabernet Franc, Santa Cruz Mountains Corsica is an old friendOn the same property as my Viognier that becomes Plastic Stars, there grows some Cabernet Franc on a North and East facing hillside at higher elevation that was planted in the 70s and 80s. Dry farmed and organic from day one. The vines flourish over Saratoga and the Silicon Valley. An idiosyncratic juxtaposition of California and the bay areas tug of war between its agricultural history and current capitalistic sprawl. Destemmed. Macerated for a week
