Cabernet Franc

Cabernet Franc Wine Details
Price:

Description: Our 2002 example is from Fred Artz' on Red Mountain and Chandler Reach, just a stone's throw up the Yakima Valley. This wine showcases some of the reasons that Cabernet Franc is beginning to turn heads. Depth of color, flavor, mouth feel; raspberries, not black berries, high palate tones, not plums and cherries - these are marks of Cabernet Franc at its best and beautifully expressed in this vintage. The 2002 was recognized as a "Wine of American Greatness" in the prestigious Jefferson Cup Invitational competition organized by Doug Frost. Doug is one of only three people in the world to hold both the Master of Wine and the Master Sommelier designations and we are honored to have earned this recognition for the winery and the state.
