Frenchtown brings Bordeaux and the Rhône together in an eight-grape variety blend that ranges from Merlot to Mourvèdre. Its fresh and floral aromas are an equally diverse mix of raspberries, blackberry tea, gardenias, lilacs and spun sugar. The wine feels fresh and clean on the palate as tart black cherry and lemon zest flavors dance about. Tannins and acidity dance a gentle waltz in harmony.
Winemaker's Comments
Frenchtown, Walla Walla Valley’s first settlement, was founded by French Canadians in the early 1800s. A thriving viticulture and winemaking community was established in the Valley in the 1860s. This Frenchtown wine salutes these pioneers. With the highest quality in mind, this blend offers exceptional value for its price.
Tasting Notes
An excellent Frenchtown vintage showing copious fresh fruit aromas of dark cherry, blueberry, raspberry, and anise complemented by cocoa powder and violet floral notes. This easy-drinking wine offers an abundance of lively fruit, cinnamon sticks, and spice flavors framed by a medium body and finely textured tannins, leading to a harmoniously balanced, juicy, and enduring finish.
