Dracaena

Paso Robles Cabernet Franc, refined through vineyard selection and reserve bottlings.

Dracaena produces Cabernet Franc from Paso Robles, the Central Coast appellation known for its warm days, cool nights, and mineral-rich soils. The varietal thrives in these conditions, developing the structure and dark fruit character the region is recognized for. The winery's portfolio centers on this single grape: a core Cabernet Franc and the Plummer Vineyard Reserve, a more concentrated expression. Both have been assessed by Decanter and Wine Enthusiast, with the Reserve reaching 91.3 points and the standard bottling 90.7. Paso Robles has emerged as a serious source for Cabernet Franc in recent years, offering an alternative to the Cabernet Sauvignon-dominated narrative of California's premium regions. Dracaena's focused approach—depth over breadth—reflects the appellation's potential for this varietal.
