2018 · Beckstoffer Dr Crane Cabernet Franc

Frontier Justice is a boutique California brand owned and operated by New Frontier Wines, producing limited-production Cabernet Franc–based wines from Napa Valley’s historic Beckstoffer Dr. Crane Vineyard. The wines draw on gravelly loam soils, mature vines, and a warm climate moderated by cooling breezes. Cabernet Franc is blended with Cabernet Sauvignon and a touch of Petit Verdot, then aged for 20 months in predominantly new French oak, resulting in powerful, high-alcohol wines. Winemaking is associated with Philippe Melka, Maayan Koschitzky, and Matt Sands.
