Cabernet Franc on SnoothApril 2013
An interesting article --http://www.nytimes.com/2013/05/01/dining/kevin-pogue-seeks-washington-states-top-terroir.htmlI've yet to try any wines from Walla Walla -- simply not available here -- but keep reading about them. It's on my to-do list for if I ever visit the US. But it's particularly interesting to see they're taking terroir more seriou... Read More

Created in conjunction with a partner vineyard as part of Early Mountain's commitment to social enterprise. Their Merlot combines with a partner's Meritage style blend of Merlot, Cab Franc and Petit Verdot for an extremely light, easy drinking red. If you think you can only enjoy whites or light roses, give this a try! Read More

Stemminess and acerbic finish might mar the experience for the oeno... Read More

Pretty big nose--I get oak and blackberry. Great initial mouth feel. Some berry flavor, nice acid. Tannin kinda sneaks up on you. At first you get the fruit and you're thinking no tannin at all.
