A medium-bodied, supple and surprisingly soft and forward wine in the vintage, the 2010 Cabernet Franc Katherine Corkrum boasts ample underbrush, wild herbs, spring flowers and chocolate-covered black cherry-like aromas and flavors. Made from 100% Cabernet Franc and aged 18 months in French oak, it should continue to drink nicely over the coming 5 to 8 years. I loved these latest releases from Spring Valley vineyard. They all show classic, elegant and balanced profiles that will evolve gracefully. These wines are not blockbusters and come across as slightly restrained at first, yet they blossom with time in the glass and are highly recommended. Tel. (509) 337-6915; www.springvalleyvineyard.com
