Walla Walla Vintners 2009 Cabernet Franc (Columbia Valley (WA))

Country: US / Washington
Variety: Cabernet Franc
Winery: Walla Walla Vintners /

This is a tight, black-fruited wine, with generous flavors that include espresso and licorice. At first it’s quite firm and a bit unyielding, it slowly peels open layer after layer, tossing out hints of dried herb, tobacco and mocha.
