Sensuality Personified in Cabernet Franc
The lens of Antica Cabernet Franc reveals another aspect to our site, telling another part of its story. Cabernet Franc has been planted on our estate since 1987, but it was not until the early 2000s, with the arrival of top-quality French clones into the United States, that superlative Cabernet Franc was possible on Atlas Peak.
After receiving the new clones, we soon learned that Cabernet Franc would accept nothing less than the absolute finest sites we had to offer. Not an easy variety to cultivate, our Antinori Napa Valley ANTICA Cabernet Franc highlights the sensual and perfumed aromatics, robust tannin structure, and supple intensity inherent in an excellent Cabernet Franc.
