By Sean Sullivan
(Bunchgrass Winery Founder's Blend Walla Walla Valley) Pale ruby. An aromatic wine - two thirds Cabernet Franc and one third Malbec with a splash of Malbec - with abundant toasty spices, coffee bean, and light herbal notes. The palate is silky and soft with cherry and chocolate flavors with a textured mouthfeel. 66% Cabernet Franc, 33% Merlot, and 1% Malbec. Dwelley, Pepper Bridge, Seven Hills, and Frazier Bluff vineyards. Aged 22 months in French oak (40% new). 14.4% alcohol. 68 cases produced.

This is a great Cab dominated WA state blend, with Merlot backing up the Cab Franc. Nice dark fruits with the typical but polished cab Franc underbrush, with some early components with good mineral and acids to make this perfect with a nice thin crust pizza during the wildcard playoffs. Enjoyed much more than the triolet!! Surprised by this.

The cab franc really shines in this blend. I really like these wines older, but with enough air this 2009 is still quite nice at this stage. I'd wait until 2017 to open these, but sadly this was my only bottle.
