Freehand Cellars
Freehand Cellars draws from the Yakima Valley, Washington's premier growing region within the broader Columbia Valley. The winery's portfolio centers on Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon—both red varieties that thrive in the valley's warm days and cool nights, developing structure and depth. A Pinot Gris rounds out the range, capturing the crisp minerality typical of the region's white wines. Wine Enthusiast has rated across the portfolio, with the Cabernet Franc reaching 90 points and the Cabernet Sauvignon at 89. The Pinot Gris scored 88. These scores reflect wines built on the Yakima Valley's terroir: volcanic soils, continental climate, and the precision that comes from a region known for balancing ripeness with acidity.
