Napa Valley, California – Beaucanon Estate releases their 2005 Cabernet Franc. This youthful wine is a mixture of blackberries and fruit, a generous dash of oak, and subtle aromas of smoke, tea and violets. The 2005 Cabernet Franc is an example of the growing maturity of Beaucanon’s plantings – complex and bold on the palate, with prominent acid tannins that ensure a long cellar life of 10+ years. Abundant red and black fruit flavors, vanilla, and cinnamon spice promise an incredible reward for your patience.

With a little breathing in a decanter, the Cabernet Franc will release delicate notes of red cherry, lavender and mineral earth, adding depth and interest. On the palate, the fruit takes over, with a rush of red and black berries dominating with savory oak. Darker elements of earth and cocoa flavors whisper around the edge. The Cabernet Franc will add zest to a variety of dishes, including poultry lasagna, Middle Eastern and Greek food.

Beaucanon Estate Releases their 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon – a Rich Bordeaux Style Wine made in Napa Valley

GrapesForJesus.com — Thu, 26 May 2011 18:27:24 +0000

Napa Valley, California – Beaucanon Estate releases their 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon, a red earthy wine with a nose of blackberry and black cherry and a hint of brambly spice. Youthful acidity plays up a palate of berries and savory flavors while velvety tannins build as acidity fades, carrying the flavors through to a long finish. Aged in Toasted French oak, this flexible wine drinks well now and will age beautifully for 20 years.
Beaucanon Estate 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon is an extremely versatile food-friendly red wine. It goes well with cheeses, heavy sauces and/or red meats. The bitterness of the tannins can be counter-balanced by the use of bitter foods such as radicchio and endive, or with cooking methods that involve fire. As the wine ages and the tannins lessen, subtler and lighter dishes will pair better.

Produced and bottled at Beaucanon Estate in Napa Valley, the Cabernet Sauvignon is sourced from premium grapes grown on Beaucanon’s rolling vineyards of High Valley, which produce smaller berries with more intense flavors. This wine is reminiscent of Bordeaux rich wines that require years of aging to mature.
