Appellation: Red Mountain
Cabernet Franc Blend
Blend of Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon,
Winemaker: Chris Camarda
The balance between fruit and structure is well played out in this vintage. The classic and austere qualities that this vineyard has each year are well drawn out. As with most American wines, this wine projects more fruit in its youth than its European reflections.

2009 Ciel du Cheval
View Label
Appellation: Red Mountain
Cabernet Franc Blend
Blend of Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot
Winemaker: Chris Camarda
This wine has a mature ripeness that deftly balances its red fruit palate of red current, plum, cherry, and loganberry. It is a harmonious wine with ripe and generous qualities in the fruit that do not overwhelm the structure due to its fresh acidity.

Basel Cellars Estate Winery

(Winery Info & All Wines)
2003 Walla Walla Valley Red Wine
Appellation: Walla Walla Valley
Cabernet Franc Blend
Blend of Cabernet Franc, Merlot,
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

2008 Cabernet Franc
Appellation: Columbia Valley
Blend of Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon,
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.

2008 Cabernet Franc
View Label
Appellation: Horse Heaven Hills
Blend of Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot,
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...

Appellation: Columbia Valley
Cabernet Franc Blend
Blend of Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Sangiovese,
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. The Sangoivese offers up some distinctive strawberry notes and the Cabernet Sauvignon gives the wine its structure and length and intensifies the red fruit profile. We bottled this under screwcap as well, and think it...
