Martin Woods Cabernet Franc 2019

Oregon wines from Walla Walla? Yes, that's correct. Many of Walla Walla's vineyards are on the Oregon side of the border, which doesn't always get telegraphed in the marketing materials. This Cabernet Franc is super interesting–warm and red-fruited, but also hitting with complex notes of pencil lead, cedar dust, and sautéed red bell pepper. 

winemaker Evan Martin's notes: "classic, varietally pure aromas...white pepper, garden herbs, red-black fruits—juicy, fleshy, refreshing—elegant

balance, refined structure, dry resonant finish—will gain in complexity and subtlety over many (20+) years in the cellar"
