FRANCISCAN CABERNET SAUVIGNON MONTEREY

Over three decades ago, Justin Meyer took over the winemaking at Franciscan with a highly meticulous approach. Dividing the Oakville Estate into sections, he fermented and aged each vineyard block separately to bring out the best expression of each lot, then blended the best lots together to create wines of distinction. Thus began their tradition of small lot winemaking, which they are proud to continue today.Each vintage, they make over two hundred separate lots of Bordeaux varietals, honing the blend during eighteen months of barrel aging. Only the finest lots are included in each glass of Franciscan Cabernet Sauvignon, to show the best of the vineyards, and the vintage.Pair this focused Cabernet Sauvignon with seared filet mignon, sweet Italian sausage with fresh tomato sauce, or eggplant caponata and rye crackers. With cheese, pick a hard Italian style cheese like Pecorino Romano.
