There are 20,000 native species of bees in the world, 4,000 in the U.S., and around 700 in the state of Idaho. The majority are ground nesters. Rapid human growth threatens their habitat as earthmovers scoop them up to make way for new businesses and subdivisions.

Dr. Ron Bitner is a renowned bee expert who has traveled the world studying bees. Now he’s working with the University of Idaho, Oregon State University and the USDA bee lab in Logan, Utah, to document bee in Idaho to see what can be done to keep them healthy.

Following fermentation, our Barrel Select is aged in New French Oak barrels for three years. This wine conveys the loveliness of Idaho’s Land.

Tasting Notes
Mi Tierra is a full-bodied, powerhouse wine with firm oak tannins. Aromas of boysenberry and black currant greet the nose with hints of ginger and anise. The ripe flavors of rich black fruit and dark chocolate are accompanied by earthy vanilla notes, leading to a long, elegant finish. This Mi Tierra will continue to develop greater complexity and character with additional aging.

2019 Cabernet Franc
Vineyard Select
K.P. Martin Vineyards – Snake River Valley, Idaho

Our neighbors and friends, Keith and Pearl Martin, planted a small vineyard in 2012 on the slope east of our patio. Dr. Ron Bitner encouraged them to set aside a section for Cabernet Franc, which was rarely cultivated in Idaho. They planted 270 vines in untrellised “goblet style”, which produces smaller clusters and lower yield, resulting in more intense flavors.

Our third vintage of Cabernet Franc features aromas of red plum that lend to noble tannins and complexity. The result is bliss: cassis, spiced chocolate, roasted pepper, and a toasted caramel finish. Leave you wanting more; unfortunately there is not much to share - again.

This wine’s fine grained tannins and lush earth tones show very well with beef stew, butternut squash ravioli with sage and toasted pine nuts, and berry cobbler. 

Wine Maker: James Nederend & Martin Fujishin
Production 2019: 46 cases
2020: Zero cases
2019: 46 cases
2018: 46 cases
2017: 20% blend 2017 Terrosa Reserve
2016: 113 cases

Limit 1 Case Per Membership 
The Cabernet Franc is not a wine club release and memberships will not be automatically charged.

Special Note – If you are not able to visit the tasting room soon and would like to purchase Cabernet Franc; contact Amy Bitner –amy@bitnervineyards.com.  As we are limited to 2019 Cabernet Franc - Vineyard Select and one of everyone’s favorite this wine will sell out quickly.
