2022 Nicholson Jones White Label Cabernet Franc
The 2022 Nicholson Jones White Label Cabernet Franc is an elegant, aromatic, and beautifully structured Napa Valley Cabernet Franc that exemplifies why this variety — often called the thinking person's Cabernet — has earned an increasingly devoted following among serious wine enthusiasts. Nicholson Jones has developed a nuanced understanding of Cabernet Franc's expressive potential in Napa Valley, and the White Label tier represents their most accessible and food-versatile interpretation of the variety — approachable, generous, and consistently overdelivering for its category. The 2022 vintage produced a Cabernet Franc of impressive aromatic complexity and textural grace: red cherry, fresh violet, pencil shavings, warm cedar, dried herbs, and a subtle dark chocolate note layer beautifully on the nose, while the palate delivers medium-to-full body, silky tannins, lively acidity, and a mineral finish with real length and definition.
Serve at 62°F alongside duck breast, herb-roasted chicken, pork tenderloin with mushroom cream, wild mushroom pasta, or a beautifully composed cheese plate that honors the wine's savory complexity and aromatic generosity.
