Product Notes

Snowden Vineyards Cabernet Franc Melchior Kemper Vineyard is a premium red wine made from grapes grown in the heart of Napa Valley. This wine exudes a rich and complex bouquet of dark cherries, black raspberries, mocha, and vanilla. On the palate, it delivers an intense, full-bodied experience with beautiful tannins and a long, lingering finish. The wine is barrel-aged in French oak for 22 months, which gives it a subtle hint of smokiness and spiciness. The grapes are carefully selected from the Melchior Kemper vineyard, which is known for producing high-quality fruit that is rich in flavor and character. This Cabernet Franc is a true Napa Valley gem, perfect for any occasion.

About the Winery

Snowden Vineyards

The history of Snowden Vineyards dates back to 1878. At that time, Levi Philander Davis and his wife filed for a 160-acre piece of land under the Homestead Act of 1862. It allowed them to acquire the parcel and plant their first grapevines on the plot in 1878. By 1880, the couple had cleared and prepared 75 acres of orchards of vineyards. After Levi passed away in 1881, his wife, Lucretia, handed over the ownership and privilege of the land to Melchior Kemper. The latter continued to follow the former proprietors and plant vineyards in the cleared areas. BY 1891, he developed 60 acres of parcels that produced Malvoisie, Chasselas, and Zinfandel.
