The 2007 Cabernet Franc Estate spent 34 months in 75% new French oak. It offers up an enticing nose of dried herbs, Asian spices, earthy minerals, black fruits, and violets. Nicely proportioned and lengthy, it will benefit from 1-2 years of cellaring and deliver prime drinking from 2012 to 2022. Tranche Cellars sources their grapes from their Blue Mountain Estate Vineyard in the Walla Walla AVA. The four offerings from Tranche are all outstanding.Tel. (509) 526-4400; www.tranchecellars.com
