Cabernet Franc – First Edition

Aroma

Dark cherry and wild herbs with a warm hint of spice and oak.

Palate

Like the first page of a great novel, this Cabernet Franc opens with intention. Aged in premium French oak, it reveals deep layers of dark cherry, wild herbs, and gentle spice. Every sip is elegant, expressive, and quietly powerful. The finish lingers just long enough to invite another pour, another moment, another chapter.

First Edition is our tribute to the spark that starts everything. This vintage was crafted to capture that feeling of turning a page and knowing something memorable is about to unfold. Fair Play’s elevation and cool mountain winds shape its character, and the French oak brings it all into balance.

Maturation

Aged in premium French oak prior to bottling to develop depth, integration, and refined structure.
