Fall Line 2017 Cirque Red (Yakima Valley)

Cabernet Franc comprises 84% of this wine, with the rest Cabernet Sauvignon. Coming from Two Blondes and Dineen vineyards, the purity draws you into the glass, with notes of raspberry, whole orange, flower and dried herbs. The palate shows a fruitful but still reserved styling, with the oak pulled way back. Fruit and dried herb flavors linger on the finish. It's delicious, with a lovely structure and sense of style, and will shine at the dinner table. Pair it with grilled lamb chop. Give it time to open up to watch it shine. Sean P. Sullivan
