Bow & Arrow Time Machine Red
WHY WE LOVE IT
- Scott Frank’s daily drinker!
- This year’s rendition features a blend of Pinot Noir, Gamay and Cab Franc, that has spent time in a combination of stainless steel and neutral oak.
- Bright, fresh, crunchy, with great acidity. Try this with a slight chill.
Varietal Composition: Gamay, Cabernet Franc, Pinot Noir
Elaboration: The Gamay was fermented semi-carbonic in concrete. The Cabernets were destemmed and aged in 500l puncheons. The Pinot Noir was created with small fermenters and aged in barrique.

PRODUCER BACKGROUND
Portland Oregon’s Bow & Arrow Winery is owned by New York transplant Scott Frank. He moved west after 9/11 when he watched the tragedy from the 47th floor of a Manhattan skyscraper. His wife, Dana, owns Dame, a popular wine bar in Portland.
With no job and no previous winery experience, Frank bluffed his way into a job at the wine department of New Seasons Market where he realized that good wine didn’t have to come at a high price. He began to envision a future in wine when working harvest at the influential Cameron estate winery in Dundee, eventually becoming assistant winemaker.
