Wine: Walla Walla Vintners 1997 Cabernet Franc
Review: This is the first Cabernet Franc from Washington that I have tried and I have to say it was very enjoyable. It has aged very well with a strong aroma and a dark, full body. It has more of a tannic taste than I am used to from a Cabernet Franc, but it was still relatively smooth with a hint of cherry. The wine is a blend of 90% Cabernet Franc and 10% Merlot -- which is probably where the extra tannins originate.
I picked up this wine off WineBid, and it was a real value for the money.
Price: $20
Grade: 85
