Cabernet Franc 2021 - Wine Release

  • Bitner Vineyards 16645 Plum Road Caldwell, ID, 83607 United States (map)

We’re especially excited to release our Cabernet Franc 2021—a very special, limited wine we can’t wait for you to enjoy.

This marks the first vintage from Rose Cottage Vineyard, thoughtfully managed by Ron Bitner and the Bitner Vineyards vineyard crew. Blended with 25% fruit from our neighbor, K.P. Martin Vineyards, this Cabernet Franc reflects a beautifully balanced, medium-bodied profile that highlights the strengths of both sites.

Elegant and expressive, it opens with aromas of wild raspberry, black cherry, and violets. The palate unfolds with layers of ripe red berries, crushed herbs, subtle graphite, and a whisper of spice. Vibrant acidity and fine tannins provide structure and lift, leading to a long, silky finish.
