2019 Jacob Franklin Barbera, Naggiar Vineyard, Sierra Foothills
Tasting Notes
Highly aromatic including showing sweetly fruited notes, red licorice, and violets. The palate features an immediately noticeable mouthwatering freshness of acidity with flavors of red plum, red cherry, and a long-lasting brightness and tartness of primarily red berry fruits. It also lingers with an herbaceousness and light gravelly in texture, and tannins.

2021 Jacob Franklin Red, Naggiar Vineyard, Sierra Foothills
Tasting Notes
Bright, fresh fruit aromas dominate, with Barbera bringing red cherries, raspberries, and blackberries, while Sangiovese adds hints of dried herbs, violets, and plum. Medium-bodied, with the Barbera’s higher acidity creating a refreshing, vibrant feel, balanced by the slightly more tannic and structured Sangiovese. Medium to long finish, with the fruit lingering and a touch of spice from the Sangiovese. The acidity keeps the wine refreshing, making it an ideal companion to food.

Jacob Franklin Wines is a family run wine brand that was started by the Coursen family in 1998. In 2018 we amicably went our separate ways with Elyse Winery and now Ray and Jake (Jacob) Coursen are taking the reins.
Though there have been some changes, our main focus continues to be on producing beautiful, vineyard designate wines that paint a clear picture of vintage and locale. Our goal each vintage is to make wines that show the subtle differences of each growing season with the only necessary consistency being the quality and care we take with these wines. We believe great wines are grown in the vineyard and as so we do our best to guide these wines with minimal intervention. In 2019 and beyond we will be continuing to work with some of our favorite vineyards as well as some new vineyards we are sure you will love. Thanks for coming along for the ride!

Interesting offer. Very similar makeup and the same fruit source, but different vintages. Would be fun to compare and contrast side by side. Hopefully this is one of those offers where the labrats got a bottle of each to try.
Hello hello! I had the pleasure of trying out 2021 Jacob Franklin Red. Seeing such a low production on the specs, i feel even more like it really is the lucky ticket!
Nose was floral and light and crisp. Taste had clean bright red fruit, good acid, and was a fantastic pairing with some extra-cheesy lasagna. Plenty of verve to cut through without being too harsh when drinking alone.
Honestly, the tasting notes from the winery are pretty spot on. The only drawback from me is that the ‘medium to long finish’ is a little bitter – kinda pithy.
It’s a really good wine at the price. Solid, drinkable, at a great price. Enjoy!

@chipgreen
I noticed also that CT calls the 21 a Sangio blend, despite 2/3 is Barbera.
What’s with that?
@chipgreen I only got the “Red”.

@radiolysis If I didn’t know this was a Barbera/Sangiovese blend I’d think you were describing a white!
