Rock Hollow shows a different side of Cabernet Franc. Where our Santa Ynez Valley bottling is all about lift and immediacy, Rock Hollow leans into depth, detail, and the kind of natural tension that comes from a rocky, wind exposed site. The fruit is darker, the structure more pronounced, and the lines a bit firmer, yet the wine keeps the freshness and clarity that make Cabernet Franc so compelling in this region.

There has already been some thoughtful recognition for this wine, and much of it highlights exactly what drew us to Rock Hollow in the first place: its ability to deliver intensity without losing precision. It is a wine that opens slowly, rewards attention, and speaks clearly of where it is grown.

If SYV Franc is your weeknight go to, Rock Hollow is the bottle you pull when you want to show what Cabernet Franc can really do here. It stays vibrant and honest, but brings a grounded, mineral core that sets it apart.
