2006
Horse Heaven Hills
Cabernet franc
2006 was a beautiful vintage in Washington. A cool and wet spring led into a classic growing season. Plenty of summer heat produced grapes with wonderful intensity, natural acidity and great balance.
Although we have always fermented Cabernet Franc, we have always blended it into our Claret. However, the Cabernet Franc in 2006 was beautiful! This wine is 100% Cabernet Franc from our vines at Phinny Hill vineyards. It was aged in 100% new American oak for 21 months. The ideal consumption is 2 to 5 years from release date, but this wine will develop for another 5-7 years. The alcohol by volume is 14%. This wine was bottled July 21, 2008.
