2017 | Andrew Will Winery | Two Blondes Vineyard Cabernet Franc

It exhibits kitchen herbal flavors on the nose which assert themselves on the palate. Additional fresh forest floor notes as well as plum, dark currant and huckleberry fruit notes. A lift on the finish from subdued acids.

Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: Displaying a core of red fruit draped in potpourri spice overflowing with dark cherries, the 2017 Two Blondes Vineyard Cabernet Franc exudes supple yet complex, healthy fruit. Medium-bodied, precise and quality-focused, the palate doesn't offer much of the bell pepper flavors associated with Cabernet Franc. Taut and well-balanced on the mid-palate, the wine has a beautiful structure and lingers on and on with a long, elegant, silky finish. This bottling is going into my cellar. 1,555 cases made.

• Jeb Dunnuck: The 2017 Cabernet Franc Two Blondes Vineyard is another beautiful wine from this team. Notes of violets, spring flowers, cedary incense, and leafy herbs as well as a beautiful red and black fruit quality all flow to a medium-bodied, seamless, elegant wine with terrific balance and a great finish. It's going to evolve for a decade or more.
