The state of Washington has more than 350 wineries, making it the second largest wine producing state in the country. The Columbia valley region, well known for its premium wines, is home to the new Estate Washington Columbia Valley Cabernet Franc/Merlot kit from Winexpert.

Destined to be a classic, it is a Meritage blend of the Bordeaux varieties Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon and can be enjoyed at any occasion. The nose of this wine holds an intense aroma of plum, black cherries and vanilla with an underlying hint of pepper and spice. Fruit flavors of plum and currants blended with the silk-smooth taste of chocolate and firm tannins give this medium-bodied red wine a pleasant finish. This kit contains all necessary ingredients to make 6 US gallons of premium wine.
