| This ele-gant cabernet franc grows at Keenan’s high- est vineyard parcel, reaching an elevation of 2,000 feet. It developed ripe green-fig flavors and scents of tobacco leaf, the structure firm and airy, leaving room for food. It lasts with an earthy, red-fruit savor, still tight and built to age. |
