Fielding Hills 2009 RiverBend Vineyard Cabernet Franc (Wahluke Slope)

Country: US / RiverBend Vineyard
Variety: Cabernet Franc Washington
Winery: Fielding Hills / Wahluke Slope

Surprisingly, this seems quite light at first, with strawberry and cranberry fruit flavors, and a fair amount of acidity. Give it a few hours of breathing time and it gains flesh. The wine spent 19 months in a combination of American and French oak (two-thirds new).
