Review:

Made from 100% Cabernet Franc, the 2014 Katherine Corkrum Cabernet Franc offers up a slightly reductive style and has lots of herbal characteristics, dark chocolate, black fruits and hints of meatiness. It's impressive on the palate and has medium to full-bodied richness, no hard edges, integrated acidity and plenty of flavor authority. Give bottles a year or two and enjoy over the following decade.

 -Wine Advocate 91 Points



(14.3% alcohol): Bright, dark red. Alluring aromas of black raspberry, blackberry, mocha, licorice and flowers. Concentrated, savory and thick, conveying a sense of power--and high pH--to its flavors of red berries, cherry, mocha and flowers. Complex saline minerality and a note of tobacco add complexity and cut to the wine's sweetness. This plump, deep Cabernet Franc spreads out impressively to saturate the palate, with the tannins fully supported by mid-palate stuffing. Perhaps a bit less suave and delineated than the 2013 release but there's more wine here.

The land that the Corkrum, Derby, and Elvin families farm today is rich with history dating back to the mid 1800’s, when current vineyard owner Shari Corkrum Derby’s grandfather Uriah Corkrum began farming in the area.

Uriah experienced success farming in the 1880’s but unfortunately lost everything in the first great depression of 1893. He persevered though and acquired the land now known as Spring Valley in 1910.

In 1993, Shari andDean Derby planted the first grapes at Spring Valley. The first vintage of Estate grown and bottled Spring Valley Vineyard wines were produced with the 1999 vintage. The Derbys’ son Devin Corkrum Derby served as winemaker until his untimely death in 2004. Devin’s assistant and friend Serge Laville took over as winemaker and continues the legacy of Spring Valley Vineyard.
