THE STORY

About this wine

Ripe, round, elegant Cabernet Franc from Blue Mountain Vineyard, among the coolest sites in the Walla Walla Valley. Black and red cherry runs into cocoa, herbs, cedar and spice on a silky palate, and the finish lifts.

Echolands Winery was established in 2018 by Brad Bergman and Doug Frost MS, MW, with a focus on responsibly produced wines expressing the Walla Walla Valley’s elegance and balance.

Worth knowing

This was meant to be a blending component. The wine had other ideas, and demanded a bottle of its own.

Blend

  • Cabernet Franc 97%
  • Merlot 3%

CHARACTERISTICS AND TASTING TIPS OF THE Echolands Cabernet Franc Blue Mountain Vineyard 2021

Tasting

Color: Red in the glass.
Nose: Black cherry and red cherry lead, with floral hints right behind, and cocoa, herbs, cedar and spice settling in underneath. As it opens, pine bough, pomegranate and violet come through.
Palate: Ripe and round, silky from the front, red and black cherry fruit with a cocoa-like richness behind it. Floral, herbal and spicy tones carry through, and it lifts into a finish with the generosity and richness of the Walla Walla Valley.
