Look for amazing character from this wine right from the first aroma-- violets, blackberry, and sweet herbs are a very intriguing lead into a depth filled pallet balanced by slightly toasted oak and moderate tannins. Definitely enjoyable now, in 2009, previous vintages have proved to grow in intensity and some of the ruggedness turns more supple with time. The Fruit for this wine comes from a select few Cabernet Franc vineyards all south of Yountville in the Napa Valley.
As with the wines of Page Wine Cellars, this is artisan winemaking at its best; hand-worked and hand-crafted. Edgy, rebellious and well...frankly, winemaking that may be considered Outlaw for some. This is no ordinary Cab Franc! Truly an eyebrow raiser! So, pull up to the bar, slap your hand to the counter, and indulge the Rebel in you.
Pictured on the label is a small town in the Sierra Nevada long since abandoned, Bodie, California, just outside of the Mammoth Lakes area. Our minimalistic approach to winemaking and curiosity about winemaking by the pioneers of the early 1900s without so many modern techniques lend inspiration for Revolver Wine Co and subsequently, the label.
