    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. 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... ...read more

  • Winemaker: Ron Johnson
  • Picked as one of the best in Washington State – received Silver medal 91 points in 2005 Tri-City Wine Festival. Often blended with other grapes, our Cabarnet Franc is worthy of standing alone with a rich complexity of aromatic violets and spices ending with a smooth but long lingering finish. No blending.

    Stemilt Creek Winery (Wenatchee, WA) -- (Winery Info & All Wines)
  • Winemaker: Jan Mathison
  • Refined dusty cherry fruit is combined with pleasant notes of tobacco and thyme. The wine dances in the mouth a bit due to some acidity but is kept in check (can't have too much fun) by strong tannins. The wine would pair well with an herbal steak cooked on the grill.

  • Winemaker: Debbie Hansen
  • When the sub-zero temperatures of the winter of 2004 damaged our estate vineyards, Willard Family Farms made room for us in their vineyard. Crafted in the style of our estate Cabernet Franc with aromas of violets, currants and lavender that combine with a rich mouthfeel and long finish. Well balanced acidity and tannins mean you will enjoy this wine now and for years to come.

  • A new wine for Sorensen, a beautiful light copper color with hints of fresh strawberry jam on the nose. Again, I find creamy strawberry characters on the palate. A dry rose with a hint of sweetness. This is a great picnic wine to serve throughout the summer.

  • Taut and elegant. As it unwinds aromas, the flavors start revealing themselves. It's a bit shy in the nose but the palate shows sweet cherry, spicy tobacco, olive and flowery notes. A hint of chocolate also peeks through mid-palate to the long finish.

    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

  • Cabernet Franc
    Harbinger Winery (Port Angeles, WA) -- (Winery Info & All Wines)
  • Winemaker: Sara Gagnon
  • While traditionally utilized as a blending varietal, Cabernet Franc has the power to make believers in the power of One. Extended skin contact during a long cool fermentation has allowed this wine to be the fruit-forward powerhouse it deserves. Dark fruit and black pepper are nicely balanced with a tannic backbone that stays in check, allowing the well-rounded finish to linger nicely on the palette.

  • 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
