Columbia Winery 2015 Cabernet Franc, Horse Heaven Hills, $35
As part of its AVA Series, Columbia Winery and head winemaker Sean Hails continue to focus their efforts with Cabernet Franc in the Horse Heaven Hills. The results are true to the variety – and then some. Dense herbaceousness and dark blue notes hint at black cherry and blueberry with Italian herb mix and red bell pepper aromas. They are mirrored on the palate as more herbs get sifted into the nicely managed tannins and pie cherry acidity. On the way out, there is a sprinkling of brown sugar and long trail of charming black cherry flavors. Fans of Carménère will find a great deal to like here. Enjoy with lean cuts of meat such as marinated flank steak.
