2024 TRAILSIDE Cabernet Franc

A new addition to the Arnyca portfolio is the Cabernet Franc from the Trailside Vineyard in Rutherford. 

Trailside Vineyard sits along the Silverado Trail in the heart of Napa Valley, a site long regarded for producing structured, age-worthy wines with depth and precision.

Originally planted in the late 20th century and shaped over time by a handful of thoughtful stewards, the vineyard has earned a reputation for consistency, balance, and expression of place. Its well-drained soils and ideal exposure allow for slow, even ripening—conditions that Cabernet Franc responds to with nuance and clarity.

Today, Trailside remains one of Napa Valley’s more understated yet respected sites—known among those who seek wines of restraint rather than excess. It is a vineyard that rewards attention to detail and a measured approach in the cellar.

With only 90 cases produced, our Cabernet Franc has that structure, elegance, and intention—made not just for today, but for time in the cellar.
