2007 Keenan Cabernet Franc, Spring Mountain District
This wine was produced exclusively from grapes grown on the Keenan Estate located in Napa Valley’s Spring Mountain District. Our two blocks of Cabernet Franc were harvested on September 28th and October 25th, 2007. The fruit was hand picked then, after de-stemming, the must was inoculated with Montrachet yeast and fermented in a stainless steel tank.
“Freakishly good” is how we have come to describe this single vineyard Cabernet Franc from our highest elevation vineyard (approx.2000') aptly named the "Upper Bowl". Cabernet Franc is simply not supposed to be this delicious. Enjoy now or decades from now.
Cheers! Michael Keenan

“... a wine that admirably demonstrates the heights to which this varietal can climb. A brilliant effort, it boasts elegant blue, red and black fruit notes intermixed with abundant spring flower and forest floor aromas. Intense, yet light on its feet, medium to full-bodied, stylish and gracious, ,it is a compelling example of Cabernet Franc from a high elevation vineyard. It will be fascinating to follow this lovely wine's evolution over the next 10-15 years."
