2023 Cabernet Franc
A blend of two very different vineyards. On the very west end of the Columbia valley AVA, threemile vineyard lies in the hills just south of The Dalles – with some elevation and volcanic soils the wine is very bright, fresh, and expressive. Blended with the low elevation, rocky soils of the Gunkel vineyard located in Arlington – which contributes grippy and dense characteristics.
26 months in oak. 12% new French.
An old-world feel with crunchy red fruits, dried herbs, and a subtle touch of oak. Long finish with gravelly tannins and earthy/spice notes.
Columbia Valley. Gunkel Vineyards (60%). Threemile Vineyard (40%)
