While not up to the 2010, the 2011 Cabernet Franc is nevertheless rock solid and a good value. Made from 100% Cabernet Franc and aged in 20% new oak, with the balance mostly 2-3 years old barrels, it is a big, voluptuous and softly textured effort that has beautiful fruit, excellent complexity and a medium to full-bodied, mouth-filling texture. Hard to resist, it should have 4-5 years of evolution. Drink now-2018.
Located in Walla Walla and founded in 1998 by Ron and Jamie Colman, with the wines now made by Danny Gordon, this first-rate estate fashions classic, age-worthy wines that over deliver for the price. While I tasted the majority of the bottled wines in Colorado, all of the reserve efforts were tasted from barrel during my visit to the winery. This is an estate to watch and I came away more than a little impressed.
