Pure Cab Franc entirely from Walla Walla Valley fruit; in fact this is the winery’s only Walla Walla Valley wine of the vintage. It’s a good effort under the difficult growing conditions of the vintage, in which all the estate fruit was from secondary buds. Flavors of bell pepper, toast and coffee dominate; this will benefit from a year or two more in bottle. ——P.G.(3/1/2007)—— 87
