    2005 Winemaker Select Cabernet Franc
    Kestrel Vintners
    (Prosser, WA) -- (Winery Info & All Wines)
  • Winemaker: Flint Nelson
  • The color is very deep red, becoming black at its center. The aroma is filled with dark fruit such as black cherries and blackberries. More importantly though is the dark spice, herbal, and floral layers that are typical of the variety. The wine fills the palate with many layers, including sweet dark fruit, spice, earth, anise, roses and herbs. The wine is full bodied and complex, showing that a blending variety can have a life of its own.
