2018 ASV Cabernet Franc
Cabernet Franc from the Rocks District
Aromatic and acidic, this Washington wine has a flavor profile reminiscent of French Cabernet Francs. Surprisingly light-bodied for its deep flavor, it has notes of lush blackberry, blueberry pie, and sage with an earthiness to ground it. A stunner for the Cab Franc lover!

Vineyard Notes
Exclusive wines from our Ancient Stones Estate Vineyard in The Rocks District of Milton_Freewater. 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 palette.
Food Pairing Notes
We love to pair this wine with a crostini topped with a creamy goat cheese and sweet fig compote.
