    		Willis Hall
    2004 Cabernet Franc View Label
  • Appellation: Columbia Valley
  • Blend of Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Willis Hall (Marysville, WA) -- (Winery Info & All Wines)
  • Winemaker: John Bell
  • Cabernet Franc is a red grape variety usually employed in a blending role to uplift, with floral scents, the wines made from traditional Bordeaux grape varieties. It also is the sole variety allowed in the classified red wines from the Chinon region of the Loire Valley in France. In this wine the forward flavors of the Cabernet Franc are complemented by the softer, more lush flavors of Merlot, a better-known Bordeaux variety. Paired foods can range from lightly herbed and spiced dishes to those ... ...read more

    2008 Cabernet Franc
  • Appellation: Columbia Valley
  • Blend of Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Chatter Creek Winery (Woodinville, WA) -- (Winery Info & All Wines)
  • Winemaker: Gordon Rawson
  • Cabernet Franc 84%, Cabernet Sauvignon 16%. On the nose, aromas of blueberry, cranberry, cassis, and peppers. The mouth feel is clean with ripe and youthful pie-cherry and red berry flavors that are unencumbered by oak. The tannins are well managed, and the finish is fruity, velvety and lingers for quite some time.

    		Opolo Vineyards
    2005 Cabernet Franc/Merlot View Label
  • Appellation: Paso Robles
  • Blend of Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Opolo Vineyards (Paso Robles, CA) -- (Winery Info & All Wines)
  • Winemaker: Rick Quinn and Dave Nichols
  • Another first for Opolo Vineyards, this small production of wine was a blend that we just couldn't pass up. A lovely fruit-driven "Meritage" blend, the Cabernet Franc spice marries perfectly with the soft Merlot cherry like fruit. Perceptable, through unobtrusive, French oak aging has lent this wine a complementary layer of vanilla

    2006 The Bordeaux View Label
  • Appellation: Columbia Valley
  • Blend of Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot Cana's Feast Winery (Carlton, OR) -- (Winery Info & All Wines)
  • Winemaker: Patrick Taylor
  • Dark, brooding aromas of blackberry, black cherry, plum and leather combine with a hint of barrel spice. This wine exhibits a rich, supple mouth feel of sweet black fruits, coffee, and pencil shavings, and is complimented by delicate, mouth-filling tannins. This selection will continue to evolve and open over the next 10-15 years, and will pair nicely with a rich red meat or Portobello mushroom

    		Basel Cellars Estate Winery
    2003 Walla Walla Valley Red Wine
  • Appellation: Walla Walla Valley
  • Blend of Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Basel Cellars Estate Winery (Walla Walla, WA) -- (Winery Info & All Wines)
  • The fragrant nose is reminiscent of sweet plums, raspberry tea, molasses, cinnamon, and mocha. The rich, concentrated mouth has flavors of ripe chocolate-covered cherries and blackberries, and finishes with beautifully integrated tannins. It should easily age for ten years, and perhaps longer.
  • Acclaim: 89 points Steve Tanzers International Wine Cellar Dec 2005"Bright, full ruby-red. Currant, cherry, raspberry, nutty oak and a whiff of tea on the nose. Juicy, firm and penetrating, with distinctly dry flavors of bitter cherry, cherry skin, fresh herbs, licorice and dark chocolate. Showing its cabernet franc side today. This has depth, tannic structure and good tang, especially for a wine with close to 15% alcohol." ST

  • Appellation: Horse Heaven Hills
  • Blend of Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, OS Winery (Seattle, WA) -- (Winery Info & All Wines)
  • Winemaker: Bill Owen
  • This is the most delicious, beautifully textured, expressive vintage of our Champoux Cab Franc to date. The alcohol has dropped from 14.6 or 14.7 to 14.1 resulting in a more graceful, more flavorful wine. Dense purple-black with subtle aromas of smoked meat and earthiness that give way to violet and rose petal notes. The mouth feel is silky and plush up front with rich tannins in the mid-palate and finish. The flavors of black cherry, fig, dark roast coffee and anis are beautifully integrated. W... ...read more

The entry is bright with red fruit, soft, elegant and extremely approachable. The mid palate has good weight, and exhibits flavors of mushroom, wet stone, cedar and caramel. Slightly dusty tannins from the Cabernet Franc blend perfectly with vibrant fruit from the Merlot, to make this wine elegant and seamless from start to finish. The finish is a bit tight, showing the age w... ...read more
