Guardian 2007 Stillwater Creek Vineyard The Wanted Red Cabernet Sauvignon-Cabernet Franc (Columbia Valley (WA))

Country: US / Stillwater Creek Vineyard The Wanted Red
Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon-Cabernet Franc Washington
Winery: Guardian / Columbia Valley (WA)

Strong, full-bodied, tannic and muscular, this 50-50 blend of Cab Sauvignon and Cab Franc seduces you with sweet berry fruit, backed with stiff tannins and well-modulated streaks of iron and earth. For Cab freaks this is a gold mine of flavor, but it will need decanting or cellaring. It should keep for a decade or more.
