2010 Yakima Valley Cabernet Franc

The Owen Roe Slide Mountain Vineyard Cabernet Franc from the 2010 vintage is a captivating red wine that beautifully represents the Yakima Valley. With a medium body, it offers a balanced structure that showcases delightful notes of blackcurrant, plum, and subtle herbal undertones. The acidity is bright and refreshing, lending crispness to each sip while enhancing the wine's overall elegance. Tannins are well-integrated, providing a firm yet smooth mouthfeel that supports the wine's fruit-forward character. This Cabernet Franc is dry, making it an excellent choice to complement a variety of dishes while also affording a pleasant drinking experience on its own.

Region:


Yakima Valley
Yakima Valley

Washington's Yakima Valley enjoys 300 days of sunshine per year, thanks to the shelter provided by the Cascade Mountains. And although it is dry here, it has the coolest climate in the Columbia Valley. With innovative irrigation and canopy techniques in the vineyards, Yakima Valley is home to nearly a third of Washington's wine production. Bright sunlight and crisp temperatures result in well-balanced wines with complex flavors and mouthwatering acidity. Fresh, creamy Chardonnay and surprisingly floral Rieslings are the main white wines here. There are also some impressively elegant red Bordeaux-style blends and peppery Syrah with a backbone of rich, dark fruit.
