✨ Tekniske specifikationer
JM Cellars' Cabernet Franc is a beautiful expression of Washington State's potential for this classic Bordeaux variety. Sourced primarily from Margaret's Vineyard—their estate site in the Walla Walla Valley named in honor of co-founder Peggy Bigelow's mother—this wine benefits from the unique terroir of the region. The vineyard's wind-blown loess soils and warm days paired with cool nights allow the grape to achieve optimal ripeness while retaining its characteristic bright acidity. Winemaker John Bigelow coaxes out the grape's complex personality, balancing its signature savory, herbaceous notes of dried herbs and tobacco with rich, dark fruit flavors. Aged carefully in French oak barrels, this Cabernet Franc showcases a structured yet velvety profile, reflecting the family's dedication to sustainable, Salmon-Safe certified viticulture and artisanal craftsmanship.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
JM Cellars blev grundlagt i 1998 af John og Peggy Bigelow og er et anerkendt, familiedrevet vinhus beliggende i de fredfyldte, skovklædte omgivelser ved Bramble Bump i Woodinville, Washington, suppleret af deres egne vinmarker på Margaret's Vineyard i Walla Walla Valley. Vinhuset er dedikeret til bæredygtigt håndværk i små partier og henter førsteklasses druer fra velrenommerede AVA'er i Pacific Northwest for at skabe vine med harmonisk struktur og ægte druetypicitet. JM Cellars roses især for sin alsidige og udtryksfulde portefølje, der spænder fra karakteristiske Bordeaux-blends og enkeltmarks-Cabernet Sauvignon til livfulde Rhône-druer og hvidvine i stærkt begrænsede mængder.
