Country: US / Beverly Vineyard Reserve
Variety: Cabernet Franc Washington
Winery: Columbia Crest / Columbia Valley (WA)
A scintillating scent of rose petals opens up this pleasing wine, which continues with raspberry and cherry fruit, accented with light milk chocolate. It is not a heavy wine; in fact, if Franc can ever be called elegant, even feminine, this is how it should taste. The finish falls off rather quickly, but otherwise it is a fine effort.
