2019 Cabernet Franc
Vineyard Notes
The warm site of McKinley Springs in the Horse Heaven Hills brings mature tannins, bright fruit and herbal flavors to our exciting Cabernet Franc. Expressive and floral Cabernet Sauvignon from Yakima Valley’s Lonesome Springs Vineyard and bold, robust Cab (also from McKinley) add complexity, color and elegance to this wine. Malbec from Olsen Vineyards in Yakima provides wonderful blueberry aromas to the wine and gives it a lush, velvety mouthfeel.
