Detert Family Vineyards
When looking at the Detert Family Vineyards logo one might expect a “gnarly, rough and tumble” wine perhaps. Nothing could be further from the truth as their Cabernet Franc is smooth, a full mouth lingering pleasant concoction of chocolate, and numerous layers of berries and tobacco. Tom Garret hosted me two years back and with his experience at Turley, Joseph Phelps, Robert Mondavi, and under Heidi Peterson Barrett as her assistant winemaker for Revana, he has “it down pat”. This fall they hosted an event at their property in Oakville (pictures). Here I met John Garret but did not meet Bill Cover – all three are involved in running the business. For two years in a row their Cabernet Franc made the “Best of the Year” on my favorites for the year.
