2019 Grand Cru Cabernet Franc ASV
Estate Grown - Chantal's Block
Exclusive wines from our Ancient Stones Estate Vineyard in The Rocks District of Walla Walla. This tiny AVA is situated on the ancient Walla Walla River bed. Softball-sized cobbles extend more than 300 feet into the earth, requiring vines to reach deep into the terroir in search of water. Deep rooting combined with radiant heat from the rocks during ripening make these wines 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!
