Kobayashi

Kobayashi produces Cabernet Franc from Washington, a region where the variety finds structure and depth in the continental climate. The winery's Red Willow Vineyard Cabernet Franc has drawn attention from major critics including Decanter, Wine Advocate, Wine Spectator, and Wine Enthusiast. A core Cabernet Franc offering rounds out the portfolio. Washington's warm days and cool nights create conditions suited to this Bordeaux variety, allowing for ripe fruit development alongside the herbal and mineral notes Cabernet Franc characteristically expresses. Kobayashi's focus on the varietal demonstrates a commitment to exploring what the region can yield from this single grape.
