Lady Hill Cabernet Franc 2018 750ml.

The 2018 Lady Hill Cabernet Franc brilliantly showcases the dramatic viticultural landscape of the Columbia Valley AVA, a massive, sun-drenched growing region spanning Eastern Washington and Oregon that is defined by its arid desert conditions and ancient volcanic soils. While Lady Hill Winery vinifies this vintage at their estate in Oregon's Willamette Valley, they deliberately source these grapes from pioneering Washington growers—like Slide Mountain Vineyard—to harness the region's intense high-desert heat and drastic night-time cooling. This unique climate minimizes the harsh vegetal or bell pepper notes often found in cooler-climate iterations of the grape, yielding a much more graceful and fruit-forward expression.
