2023 Rose` Cab Franc

2023 Champoux Vineyard Rosé of Cabernet Franc Horse Heaven Hills AVA

Crafted from heritage Cabernet Franc vines planted in the 1970s and 80s at the storied Champoux Vineyard, this rosé draws from some of Washington's most celebrated old-vine fruit. The 2023 vintage was fermented in stainless steel to lock in its crisp, vibrant character and pure expression of the Horse Heaven Hills.

Tasting Notes: Bright red fruit and lemon curd lead the palate, with notes of fresh strawberry, white raspberry, and a touch of pink grapefruit. Aromas of wild strawberry, rose petal, watermelon rind, and a subtle herbal lift — classic Cabernet Franc character peeking through.

Refreshingly crisp with a surprising viscosity that gives the wine real presence on the palate, balancing zippy acidity with a soft, rounded texture. Pure, dry, and endlessly drinkable — the kind of rosé that disappears far too quickly.
