Chinook Winery Cabernet Franc 06 |

|
The Chinook Cabernet Franc 06 was featured in the Oregonian newspaper, May 18, 2008. Wine writer Matt Kramer (Wine Spectator) said:
"Nearly all good wineries everywhere have a signature wine, a bottling that, year in and year out, is a you-can-bet-on-it winner. Chinook, a small Washington winery of note, has one as well, namely their cabernet franc."
"When you taste this just-released 2006 vintage from Chinook, you'll wonder why cab franc has not gotten its share of wine love. This is a suave, elegant cabernet franc suffused with the raspberry and cherry scents the variety can deliver, offered in a supple, drink-now style. This is the sort of sleek red wine that relies on intrinsic goodness rather than oakiness (there's none) or a tannic, inky formidability that suggests it-must-be-great-because-I-can't-drink it."
"Believe me, you can drink this wine with pleasure -- and then look around for some more. Serve this with grilled goodies, including salmon, and you'll be a fan, I promise." |
