    		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.

    		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.

    smooth & buttery, compliments the strength of
    each while rounding out the rough edges. A
    new release, not yet judged but popular at wine

  • Blend of Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Sangiovese, Sleight of Hand Cellars (Walla Walla, WA) -- (Winery Info & All Wines)
  • Winemaker: Trey Busch
  • Many of you know my love of Cabernet Franc and fortunately, so do my partners. in our opinion, it is the most underrated grape in Washington State. For this blend, it brings those amazing herbal, spicy notes to the nose, reminiscent of the pipe tobacco my grandfather used to smoke.
