Winemaker Notes
Spring Valley Vineyard fruit is hand-picked, hand-sorted and gently de-stemmed by gravity.
During the 10-20 day fermentation, each tank is tasted daily until Spring Valley Vineyard
Winemaker Serge Laville decides it is time to press using wooden cage basket presses. In
keeping with Spring Valley tradition, originally instituted by founding winemaker Devin
Corkrum Derby, hand punch-downs occur twice a day until the end of alcoholic fermentation.
The wine is transferred by pump into barrels for secondary fermentation and gets racked
several times for clarity. Finally, the different lots are blended to create our six distinctive labels.
The names given to Spring Valley Vineyard wines are a tribute to the family members who have
succeeded in farming the same land where the vineyard and winery now flourish. This Cabernet
Franc is named in honor of Uriah Corkrum’s wife Katherine, a native of Wales who immigrated
to Walla Walla Territory in 1897. She and Uriah had four sons, including Frederick Corkrum
