The 2006 Cabernet Franc does a fine job of expressing the grape from which it was made. It is a forward, friendly wine meant for near-term drinking., Ron Coleman’s Tamarack Cellars produces a portfolio of easygoing, fairly priced wines that can best be described as middle of the road. They will not excite nor will they disappoint. The two Reserve wines are a different story, outstanding wines as well as fairly priced.Tel. (509) 526-3533; www.tamarackcellars.com

It’s 100% Cabernet Franc, a delightful, bright and forward wine with sweet boysenberry and blueberry fruit. Behind the bright, luscious fruit flavors are chewy, earthy tannins. They are ripe and dry and give the wine weight and authority. It’s a complete wine—from the floral violet/rose petal aromas to the ripe berry fruit to the substantial tannins. The oak is subdued and appropriate.——P.G.(8/1/2008)—— 91
