Northstar 2008 Cabernet Franc Walla Walla Valley
- “Recommended” - Wild 4 Washington Wine - June 17, 2011
We wrapped up dinner with some of the best strawberries I’ve eaten in years. They were Klicker Strawberries, which were paired with the Northstar 2008 Cabernet Franc. Quite a few happy diners last night were surprised at how good a Washington Cabernet Franc can be. I was not surprised, just happy to share a wonderful wine with great company. The Cab Franc was not over the top, but it was very tasty and a great wine to finish dinner with.
Northstar 2006 Cabernet Franc Walla Walla Valley
- “Outstanding” - Wine Enthusiast - April 1, 2009
Best known for its Merlot, this Walla Walla winery also produces small amounts of other varieties, including this luscious Cab Franc. Winemaker David "Merf" Merfeld has crafted a wine with aromas of black cherries and leather, followed by deep flavors of blackberries, chocolate and spices. Its velvety tannins are seamless and elegant through the impressive finish.
