4 Year Barrel Aged Cabernet Franc

Have you ever had a wine made from the same methods used in the heart of one of the famed islands of Greece, Crete?  Methods developed over centuries of winemaking?  Come to our winery and experience our version of Cabernet Franc.  Although the grape originated in Bordeaux, the methods were handed down in my family through several generations.  Extended barrel aging in an arid cellar and natural winemaking, without filtering or fining.  A delicious, very full bodied and smooth red that borders on a meal within itself.  The label depicts a caricature done by our winemaker's mother that is said to have exemplified Frank, the winemakers father.  A very entertaining guy!

Winery Libation Annex is available for private party rentals this summer & fall

Contact the winery to reserve for your event at 541-546-5464.  Enjoy the ambiance of having your party on the crush pad of Central Oregon's Oldest Award Winning Winery!

Harvest and Winemaking is Here
at our Winery and Vineyard

An interesting year of cool wet weather and significant cold nights have brought us a harvest of limited fruit.  However, the fruit that we did bring in are bound to full of flavor making phenolic compounds (those things in wine that give it flavor and complexity).

Our estate fruit finished being harvested the morning of October 7.  An amazingly beautiful warm morning - a good way to finish!  This year, our fruit is being made into four wines:  Blanco (dry white blend), Tootsie (a Cretan style dessert wine), An estate red (the counterpoint to our Fresh - a village style red wine), and Legal Zin, a bold zinfandel blend.  All made from organic grapes in our Cretan family tradition of natural winemaking and extended barrel aging.

Below is a picture of one of our masked marvel picking crew in the midst of harvesting
