2014 Barrage Cellars Cabernet Franc Cease And DesistYakima Valley more |
5/25/2020 - bothellwineguy Likes this wine: NRI think this is reaching it's peak right about now, it's tasting more like a Cab-Merlot blend vs. a straight up Cab Franc. Has some chocolate notes with a long, pleasing finish with black cherry notes and mild tannins. If you have some, pop it open now |

2/9/2020 - bothellwineguy wrote: NRI decided to save a bottle and it's been almost 5 years since I've tasted this wine, but it has changed quite considerably. The color has gone from almost clear to golden. Taste has a a bit more mouthfeel, almost syrupy, yet the taste remains citrus dominant and the wine maintains a balanced flavor. |

Put it into the fridge with a vacu-vin and it was better the next day. I would definitely drink now if I had it and decant for a while before drinking |

7/2/2019 - bothellwineguy wrote: NRPicked this up this from the winery in 2012 and at the time it seemed young and had quite a bit of acidity, so decided to save it for later. Fast forward to 2019 and it has developed deep fruit and structure and was quite enjoyable with tannins well integrated and a smooth, yet prominent finish |

4/5/2019 - bothellwineguy Likes this wine: NRI've always maintained the WWC wines have held up well over time and this one is no exception. This is definitely worth checking out now, but I think it will easily last at least another two years in the bottle. |
