Artz Vineyard Cabernet Franc Blend

Wow, do I love a Washington state wine!

Roasted hazelnut nose, with a couple of char ones on the mix.
Large, bold body, light berry, fruit leather, smoke, slate, and mirrors.
This is a wine that enjoys company, and I am lucky to dog sit my Sister in laws Ewok for a couple of days..

Gummy, wharfy, rosy, smurf feet, with clean mineral pools, a saline touch and boysenberry. There is a delicate mushroom on the palate and plums, blackberry, charcoal, graphite, and coffee, but an earthy funk that hides just below the surface that keeps it real. #washingtonstate #singlevineyard #cabfranc

Fragrant violets and tobacco. Nicely structured with dark cherry, herbs and toast.

Oh man- this wine is in a nice place right now. Super elegant, lengthy finish. Good job Tim!

Got to be with food. Preferably a medium to rich red meat based. These guys rocked it tonight.

And bottle number 2.... My favorite of the 3!

Very nice Cab franc blend (plus 46% Merlot 4% Cab Saug) from JR mystery 101 mixed vintages. Dark fruits blueberries herbs and no green overtones but grippy but balanced texture and finish to complement somewhat spicy sausages with tomatoes and pasta. 281 cases.

Gorgeous right bank blend. Initially after pnp it's all cab franc dominated and the vegatal earthiness is up front. After about 30 to 45 minutes it balances out nicely with more black and. Red fruits and the vegatal flavors.toned down.

Delightful. Much better than the 2011!! Right bank from the left coast!

Yum yum yum. Great eating wine with beef, salty things
