The Frenchman Hills Winery is a winery located east of Royal City, Washington, United States. The winery produces full-bodied red wines from the Sentinel Gap Vineyards located on the high rocky bluffs near the Columbia River near Vantage on the west end of the Frenchman Hills in the Columbia Valley American Viticulture Area (AVA). History and Heritage The first commercial vintage of the Frenchman Hills Winery was the 2005 crop year with grapes from the Estate Owned Sentinel Gap Vineyards. Frenchman Hills Winery was licensed in January 2007. Frenchman Hills Winery owner Norman Myrick and viticulturist/winemaker Larry Myrick produce 100% varietally correct production. Focusing on the Tier 1 and Tier 2 full bodied red wines, the wine making style is a handcrafted fruit forward expression of the vineyard. The best grapes are hand selected for the Tier 1 Program which includes Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Syrah. The Tier 2 Program includes Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, and Red Wine (a blend of 51% Merlot, 34% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 15% Syrah). The Winery is self distributed by agents to high end restaurants, wine shops, destinations resorts and direct shipping to retail customers and club members.
