2013 Browne Family Tribute Red Wine, Columbia Valley 750ml

This silky red blend offers big fruit flavors and well-integrated, velvety tannins. Aromatics of pipe tobacco, leather and dark fruit layer with ripe boysenberry flavors and a hint of black pepper. The finish lingers with blackberry jam and toasty, graphite back notes. Pair with rosemary and peppercorn-crusted pork loin, lamb burgers or a grilled Portobello sandwich.
 
                                                   
2013 Browne Family Cabernet Franc, Columbia Valley 750ml
90 Points, Wine Enthusiast
 
Sweet and earthy with aromatics of violets, cedar and forest floor, this rich and full-bodied wine carries through with supportive tannins. Moderate alcohol suspends the sweet, fruit characters of the wine, rounded out by a lingering finish of black licorice, leather with dried fruit.
 
Vintage Note
The warmest vintage in a decade, 2013's growing season cooled off just in time for harvest, and picking proceeded at a normal pace starting at the end of August. Total tonnage, approximately 220,000 tons, was up easily five percent over 2012, a record for Washington State. With a warm 2013 vintage, growers spread out canopies a bit more than usual and adjusted crop sizes to achieve a good balance of acidity and phenolic ripeness. Mother Nature made picking advantageous; varieties reached ripeness at different times, allowing crews a well-phased, thoughtfully-planned harvest.
 
Winemaking
The fruit for Browne Family was harvested at  the peak of phenolic ripeness and tested on the vine for flavor and structure. Once harvested, all grapes were hand-picked into small 1/2 ton bins and immediately de-stemmed. The winery "crusher", used to de-stem fruit was removed to maintain 70% whole berries during fermentation. This allowed for great extraction of color and increased the maturity of tannins making the wine more approachable. After pressing occurred, primary fermentation was completed in stainless steel. The new wine was then transferred to 59-gallon French oak casks; selected for their intense Cabernet Franc varietal characteristics and to balance the fruit tannins. The Browne Family 2013 Cabernet Franc was barrel aged for 22 months.
                                                    
 
2012 Browne Family Merlot, Columbia Valley 750ml
90 Points, Wine Spectator
92 Points, Tasting Panel
 
Ripe fresh black fig and Santa Rosa plum aromatics introduce exuberant brambly notes of boysenberry and mixed berry flavors. Soft smoky, toasty nuances unfold as the wine remains open. A lingering, spiced plum chutney finish is backed by toasted oak notes.
 
The 2012 vintage, while starting off with a stunning resemblance to 2011, finished off the season well: average heat accumulation and cumulative precipitation. Most bud break occurred in early April.  Although overall precipitation for 2012 was slightly above normal, it was not evenly distributed over the growing season. August saw low humidity, low precipitation, and high temperatures which kicked off berry ripening. 2012 brought medium-sized berries, concentrated colors and intense flavors.
 
Vintage Note
Merlot is chosen from Seven Hills and Mirage Vineyards for its lush, dark fruit character and from Klipsun and Force Majeure in Red Mountain for added structure and earthiness to the wine.

Vendor Details

Browne Family Vineyard

Owner:
Andrew Browne
Andrew Browne, principal of Browne Family Vineyards, is the first to tell you he’s a taste maker, not a winemaker. As a curator of the brightest talent, best vineyards and the divining rod of winning concepts at Precept Wine, where he serves as its CEO, his groundbreaking feats across the wine industry carry through to his own family legacy in wine, Browne Family. Throughout his 20-year career ascent in the wine industry, he was laying the foundation for his namesake family winery.
 
Inspired by the greatness of one man—his Grandfather, William Bitner Browne—integrity and excellence are the standards upon which Browne wines are created. This is premium Washington wine, made with the utmost quality and enjoyment in mind.
 
Browne Family Vineyards was 15 years in the making before its first vintage ever debuted. Founder Andrew Browne selected viticulturists, winemakers and cellar masters to represent the best handcrafted lots from within Columbia Valley AVA. To date, Browne has received more than 20 scores of 90 points or higher from critical reviews.
 
Known primarily for Cabernet Sauvignon, a Bordeaux red blend and Chardonnay, Browne Family has expanded to also include a Merlot and Petit Verdot. Each year’s very limited production brings a fresh opportunity to raise the bar.
 
After the harvest of its popular Cabernet Sauvignon grapes, for example, grapes go into half-ton bins, are de-stemmed and approximately 70 percent whole berries are retained for richer color extraction and captured tannins for superior flavor. Aging in French and American oak casks brings balance and enhances varietal expression. This hand-crafted dedication is felt throughout the entire wine-making process.
 
Browne Family’s state-of-the-art production facilities assure pristine, climate-controlled conditions from harvest to cooperage to bottle.  Every step taken is a careful commitment for uncompromised quality, assuring cellar-worthy vintages that stand the test of time. Guaranteed by Andrew Browne – no exceptions!
