McCrea Cellars
2011 Rose of Cabernet Franc
Appellation: Red Mountain
Rosé of Cabernet Franc
McCrea Cellars
(Rainier, WA)
--
(Winery Info & All Wines)
Winemaker: Doug McCrea
Yes, we know, Cabernet Franc is not a Rhône grape variety. But this was something we just couldn’t pass up. The fruit is from a relatively new vineyard on Red Mountain, managed by renowned grower Dick Boushey. This rosé is made from dedicated fruit and was allowed 48 hours of skin contact before pressing off. Fermented in stainless, it was transferred to neutral oak barrels after it completed. As a result of the contact with skins & seeds, the wine developed beautiful, deep cranberry color a...

The other great Cab that flourishes so well here. Ours has heady aromas of sweet vanilla oak, spicy black cherries and nuances of bell pepper. The taste of tart raspberry has a firm backbone of tannins that cleanse your palate.

2007 Cabernet Franc
Appellation: Sierra Foothills
Naggiar Vineyards
(Grass Valley, CA)
--
(Winery Info & All Wines)
Warm days, cool nights and unique soil conditions at our family estate vineyards in the Sierra Foothills have fashioned the premium grapes for this wine. Deep dark red in color, this wine has lovely aromas of ripe plums, blackberries with hints of coffee and cinnamon in the background. Soft tannins provide a long velvety finish which can be enjoyed alone or with lighter meat and chicken fare.

Rosé of Cabernet Franc

(Winery Info & All Wines)
Winemaker: Jarrod Boyle
More than just a "Rosé Revival" this one is proof that Rosé's are back for a reason. Pleasing the palate from start to finish with layers of sexiness. The 2005 Rosé was made from Cabernet Franc and the vibrant ruby red hue of this crisp, refreshing summertime gem dances in the glass with layers of strawberry jam. This food friendly delight is full of character with hints of ripe red berries and floral tones that give way to a bright refreshing finish. Served chilled.

Lucchesi Vineyards
2007 Cabernet Franc
Appellation: Sierra Foothills
Lucchesi Vineyards
(Grass Valley, CA)

(Winery Info & All Wines)
Winemaker: Kristen Vartan
2007 Cabernet Franc The grapes were hand harvested from our View Forever Vineyard Estate at optimal ripeness, then destemmed and fermented in small lots until dryness. The young wine finished malo-lactic in 65% new French oak barrels and matured for 20 months with quarterly racking. Intriguing aromas of cassis, raspberries, and black tea greet you with a swirl of the glass. Assertive yet refined tannins carry flavors of abundant ripe fruit, minerality, and spice of this opulent wine.

Bright raspberries but with fresh-fruit jam notes contribute to one of the most versatile food wines we make. Meat dishes, of course, but try it with salmon and a fresh fruit salsa for a real Northwest treat.

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 ...

(Winery Info & All Wines)
Winemaker: Brian McCormick
A minor vintage claret. Subtle perfumes build in the glass (I’m presently enjoying this bottling as much on the day after it’s been first open). Just medium in weight, and gentle---this was 2008 in the Gorge (showery September, cool ripening period, fruit just ripe by Halloween), which called for tenderness at the press. Mellow and savory, there are scents of muddled dark fruits, leather, perhaps a sprig of mint…. The usually muted acidity was left unadjusted, a fact I may come to regret; ...
