2020 Cabernet Franc/Merlot

Estate Ferguson and Seven Hills Vineyards · Walla Walla Valley

Winemaker's Comments

Cabernet Franc and Merlot shine at our Estate Ferguson and Seven Hills vineyards. This small production 50/50 blend of these two noble varietals is only produced in exceptional vintages and is made in a classic Right Bank Bordeaux style.

Tasting Notes

This Right Bank style estate blend shows aromas of strawberry, cherries, plum, and violet set against savory notes of Herbes de Provence, pepper, and cedar. Intriguing hints of crushed rose petals and espresso complete the picture. Delicious and rich, the wine’s refined structure offers serious length, supported by herb-dusted tannins.

About the same size as the Napa Valley, Walla Walla is buttressed against the beautiful Blue Mountains on the east, Vansycle basalt ridge on the south, and rolling Palouse Hills to the north. Walla Walla means “many waters” and was the name of the local Native Americans who inhabited the valley.
