Nose: Aromas unfold like a forest at dusk. Ripe blackberry and tart cherry blend with crushed violet, fresh thyme, and a whisper of graphite. It’s an enchanting bouquet, alive with Napa’s terroir.

Palate: This wine flows with lively precision. Juicy red plum and bright cranberry meet a savory note of green peppercorn, grounded by velvety tannins. Its amphora-aged texture, kissed by French oak, offers a rustic yet refined charm, evoking Oak Knoll’s windswept slopes in every sip.

Finish: The finish glows with elegant restraint. A hint of espresso bean and tart pomegranate lingers, leaving a crisp, invigorating close. It’s bold yet graceful, craving another pour.

T. Berkley Cabernet Franc dances with rich, earthy flavors. Pair it with roasted duck breast or a truffle-infused polenta for sheer delight. It sings alongside aged cheddar or prosciutto-wrapped figs. For a plant-based twist, try it with charred zucchini topped with herb pesto. Its vibrant acidity and layered complexity make every dish a revelation.
