Cabernet Franc

Cabernet Franc Wine Details
Price:

Description: Our 2003 example is from Fred Artz' on Red Mountain and Chandler Reach, just a stoneƕs 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. Try our Cabernet Franc with salmon sometime. We find it complements salmon almost anyway you fix it - blackened, poached, baked, or barbequed. The brightness of the fruit and good acid levels will cut through those healthy Omega 3 fats and fit right in with the spice of a blackened fish or with a summer's fresh fruit salsa. Enjoy!
