Our Cabernet Franc is 100% Estate grown, at 2,500ft on a steep Northeast facing slope. The head-trained vines are nearly 40 years old and grown on one of the coolest corners of our vineyard, where air flowing down the Western slope of the Sierra settles during the evening.

Rich tannins, dark fruit and great acidity.

Lava Cap is a third-generation family farm founded in 1986 in Placerville, California, high in the Sierra Nevada Foothills at an elevation of 2700 feet. Our estate mountain-grown grapes are sourced from some of the highest vineyards in California. Our unique volcanic soils, weathered from ancient ash flows, produce wines that are intensely aromatic and luscious with deep, rich fruit erupting with flavor.

Millions of years ago, the Sierra Nevada mountains roiled with volcanic activity, and lava flowed down from the mountains, covering the foothills. Over thousands of years, much of the hardened lava deteriorated away, but select areas in the Sierra Nevada foothills still have volcanic soil, which is ideally suited to the production of fine wine grapes. The Jones family grows grapes on one of the few special volcanic sites, at an elevation of 2,700ft. The name"Lava Cap" reflects theunique topography of the site. This "lava cap" is one of the reasons why the wines are so special.
