✨ Tekniske specifikationer
The Beverly Vineyard Reserve Cabernet Franc from Columbia Crest highlights one of the Columbia Valley's most distinctive terroirs. Situated on the banks of the Columbia River near the town of Beverly, Washington, this vineyard is defined by its deep, wind-blown Quincy sandy soils and a warm, arid microclimate. The relentless winds off the river help temper the heat and keep the canopy dry, while the sand forces the roots deep, resulting in low yields of highly concentrated fruit. In this unique environment, Cabernet Franc sheds its aggressive herbaceousness, developing rich dark fruit flavors, refined tannins, and a complex bouquet of dried herbs and cocoa. Crafted under Columbia Crest's prestigious Reserve program, this wine undergoes meticulous small-lot fermentation and extended aging in French oak barrels to showcase the elegant structure and expressive character of Washington State Cabernet Franc.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
Columbia Crest blev grundlagt i 1983 i Paterson langs Columbia-flodens solbeskinnede bredder og har spillet en afgørende rolle i at etablere staten Washington som en vinregion i absolut verdensklasse. Vingården ligger i hjertet af Columbia Valley og Horse Heaven Hills, hvor vinstokkene nyder godt af ideelle vækstbetingelser med markante temperaturforskelle mellem dag og nat samt veldrænede jordbunde. Huset forener præcisionsdyrkning i vinmarken med moderne kældermetoder for at skabe vine med imponerende konsistens, dybde og umiddelbar tilgængelighed. Columbia Crest er især berømt for sin fyldige, velstrukturerede Cabernet Sauvignon, sin bløde Merlot og sin spændstige Chardonnay, som udfolder sig i anmelderroste serier som Grand Estates, H3 og flagskibet Walter Clore Private Reserve.
