Leah Jørgensen is a celebrated champion of Loire-style varieties grown in Oregon, best known for benchmark expressions of Pacific Northwest Cabernet Franc. Fruit for this bottling comes from the Crater View Vineyard in the Rogue Valley of Southern Oregon, a site of volcanic, gravelly benches shaped by high elevation, warm days, and cool mountain nights.

The 2021 vintage shows Jørgensen's signature balance, vibrant and savory, without the heavy oak extraction so common in domestic Cabernet Franc.

Why You'll Love It

• An elegant, Oregon-grown Cabernet Franc that leans into a Loire Valley profile.
• High-toned aromas of red plum, crushed gravel, dried herbs, and a touch of bell pepper spice.
• Medium-bodied, with fine, savory tannins and mouthwatering acidity.
• A versatile red that bridges New World fruit and Old World restraint.

How To Serve It

• Serve at cool room temperature, between 58°F and 62°F.
• Decant for about 30 minutes to let the herbal and red fruit aromatics expand.
• Burgundy stems capture its aromatic, savory complexity best.
• Pair with roasted duck, grilled pork tenderloin, or herb-crusted rack of lamb.
