2019 Grand Cru Cabernet Franc ASV
Estate Grown - Chantal's Block
Discover exclusive wines from our Ancient Stones Estate Vineyard, located in The Rocks District of Walla Walla. This tiny American Viticultural Area (AVA) is situated on the ancient Walla Walla River bed, where softball-sized cobbles extend more than 300 feet into the earth. This unique geology requires the vines to reach deep into the terroir in search of water. The combination of deep rooting and radiant heat from the rocks during ripening results in wines that are bold and structured on the palate.
Aromatic and acidic, this 100% Cabernet Franc wine is produced from a single block in our Ancient Stones Vineyard - Chantal's Block, named for our eldest daughter. This wine has fragrant notes of raspberry and sage with silky smooth tannins. A stunner for the Cab Franc lover!
