Jeb 96, Vinous 95 Winemaker's Notes: "This very limited bottling shows the compelling potential of Cabernet Franc from a top vineyard. Though it’s often used as a spice in our Bordeaux blends, this wine, from the legendary Champoux Vineyard, has its own unique character and complexity that convinced us to feature it alone. 100% Cabernet Franc from a 1997 planting at Champoux. Native yeast fermentation. Aged in 20% new French oak for 20 months. Bottled unfined, unfiltered. 125 cases total production."
