PB Wines from Rasa Vineyards Cabernet Franc 09

Review:

75 cases made. Red currant, vanilla, spice, and cedar and on the nose. The dark red berry and currant flavors are accented by dark chocolate and a hint of truffle. A big, satisfying Washington State Cabernet Franc. - Avalon

The grapes come from the Wahluke Slope.

Aged in French oak for 22 months, this wine displays nuanced aromatics of black currant, cedar, sandalwood, vanilla, violet, lavender, spice, and truffle. On the palate, the black currant and blueberry fruit notes are gently counterbalanced with vanilla, spice, espresso, dark chocolate, truffle, and tobacco notes. The minute long plus finish echoes a floral characteristic that is the hallmark of great Cab Franc. - Billo Narvarane
