Sheridan Vineyard produces this Cabernet Franc, hailing from their family-owned winery in Washington State's Yakima Valley appellation. Made entirely from estate-grown grapes, this wine is celebrated for its expressive, elegant character. Carefully selected grapes undergo fermentation and aging in French oak barrels to create a complex and refined expression of the varietal. Expect flavors of black cherry, raspberry, and spice in a medium-bodied wine, supported by firm tannins and a long, silky finish.
