Cabernet Franc 2022
Dyer Wines’ 100% Cabernet Franc Wine
Cabernet Franc has been an important varietal at Dyer Vineyard since our first vintage. It flourishes in our volcanic Diamond Mountain soils making a wine that is both mineral, aromatic and lush with softer tannins than the famed tannins of Diamond Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon. Cabernet Franc has been critical in our blends and, since 2013, we have bottled a small amount of 100% Cabernet Franc.
With the 2022 vintage we made the decision to re focus in the vineyard to Cabernet Franc and it now takes the lead in our winemaking. 2022 Dyer Vineyard Cabernet Franc is our current vintage.
What One Critic Says…
The 2022 Cabernet Franc from Dyer Vineyard is a compelling and distinctive wine. Dark cherry, plum, spice, espresso and blood orange are some of the notes that build in the glass. In this vintage, the varietal character is backed down a touch, but the wine’s gracious, mid-weight personality remains….

Our Notes Read…
Concentrated aromas of dried cherries sit on a mineral rich base of graphite, dried rose petals, wild sages, white pepper, and dusty earth that penetrates both aromas and palate. Tannins are supple and balanced.
