Frenchman’s Blend

Oak Knoll District
Napa Valley
$28.00 CLUB

This lovely white blend offers a juicy, fruity nose juxtaposed by a classic bone-dry finish. Intentionally crafted to enhance minerality, floral overtones & the fresh fruit character of pineapple, guava and green apple. The wine finishes with generous body and textural depth.

91 POINTS

“Aromas of sliced apples and ripe guava with hints of savory herbs and a touch of aloe vera. Crisp and juicy with a medium body and notes of lemon drops and tangerines. Flavorful finish. Drink now.”

This is a cellar-crew favorite. Everything about the wine is pleasurable and fun to drink. It’s great chilled ice cold as well as on a warm day, allow the wine to warm a little and see how the characteristics change in the glass.

Oak Knoll AVA

  • Just south of Yountville, bound by the Napa River to the east and the Mount Veeder AVA to the west
  • Marine influence from the San Pablo Bay makes Oak Knoll a “sweet spot,” with temperatures averaging 10°F cooler than Upper Napa Valley
  • Oak Knoll typically has the longest growing season in Napa Valley
