    Chandler Reach 2003 Parris Cabernet Franc (Yakima Valley)

    This is 100% Cab Franc. Chandler Reach has made another terrific example, saturated and lush with sweet, ripe black cherry fruit. There is a hint of leather, plenty of snappy acid, well-modulated tannins and behind the tangy fruit a wine with pleasing texture and balance. It's muscular without steroids, a fine follow up to the excellent 2002.
