Echolands Winery’s 2022 Cabernet Franc from the Blue Mountain Vineyard in Walla Walla Valley is a precise and elegantly structured wine. It offers multilayered flavors of boysenberry, forest floor, and crushed stone, building richness and tension toward refined tannins. Crafted in a graceful and understated style that focuses on purity over power, this wine is approachable now but will develop further complexity with time.
