Wine: 2004 Doukenie Winery Cabernet Franc
Review: This is the last Cabernet Franc vintage from Windham before they changed their name to Doukenie. I believe this is also the last vintage that was influenced by Doug Fabbioli (though, don't quote me on that).
The wine was dark purple in color with hints of smoke on the nose flavors of pepper and other spices. The wine had a full body with medium tannins that did not linger. Certainly a decent every day wine, but not the best vintage from Doukenie.
Price: $17
Grade: 85

Hello Allan,
When my parents visited about 2 years ago they absolutely loved this vintage; my impressions were much like yours. If not mistaken I think Doug is responsible for 05, but do not quote me either (lol).
The last few years of VA Cabernet Franc overall has just been average to me, and some are blended to a point where they become un – Cabernet Franc like. I'm looking forward to some new vintages of Cabernet Franc myself.
Happy Sipping!
