The 2022 Scalon Coombsville Cabernet Franc is a rare and exciting expression of one of Napa Valley's most underappreciated red varieties, grown in one of the valley's most distinctive appellations. Coombsville's cool, volcanic soils and maritime-influenced climate provide an ideal home for Cabernet Franc — a variety that thrives with lower temperatures and longer hang time, developing an aromatic complexity and structural elegance that sets it apart from more familiar Napa reds. The 2022 Scalon Cabernet Franc is a wine of beautiful precision: aromas of dark cherry, fresh herbs, crushed violet, graphite, and a savory, almost meaty quality that is quintessential Cab Franc, leading to a medium-full palate with silky tannins and a long, herb-laced finish.

For the wine lover seeking something beyond the expected, the 2022 Scalon Coombsville Cabernet Franc is a genuine discovery — a variety and site combination that delivers something truly unique in the California wine landscape. Serve at 62°F alongside roasted pork tenderloin, duck leg confit, grilled salmon with herb butter, or a mushroom-based preparation for a pairing that highlights the wine's versatile, food-friendly character.
