2021 Cabernet Franc
The 2021 Titus Cabernet Franc was harvested on October 13th from the Titus Ranch Estate and on October 18th, 2021, from the Sugarloaf Mtn Vineyard. The Cabernet Franc is a combination of the Titus Estate Vineyard and Sugarloaf Mtn vineyard in South Napa. The combination of slightly cooler climate Cabernet Franc from Sugarloaf and the Titus Cabernet Franc makes for an exciting blend of Cab Franc characters. This wine combines the power of St Helena and the grace and floral notes of the cooler climes of South Napa. After the fruit was received at the winery it was destemmed directly to tank where it was fermented for 14 days. After fermentation the free run wine was drained from tank and racked to barrel. This wine was aged in 55% new French Oak for 20 months before being racked to tank for bottling. This wine was racked quarterly during the first year.
