Cultura
Cultura produces wines from Columbia Valley, Washington's expansive growing region. The winery focuses on Bordeaux varieties, drawing on the valley's warm days and cool nights to develop structured reds. Fewel Family Estate Vineyard Cabernet Franc, a single-varietal expression, shows the potential of Cabernet Franc in the region's terroir. Chronos, a Bordeaux blend of Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Cabernet Sauvignon, demonstrates the winery's approach to combining these complementary varieties. Wine Enthusiast has rated both wines, with the Cabernet Franc earning particular recognition. Columbia Valley's continental climate and diverse soil types support the ripening of these classic red grapes, allowing Cultura to craft wines with the depth and balance characteristic of the region.
