Boss Block Yakima Valley Cabernet Franc 2018

It is time for my #FridayCabernetfix.

Inky in color with a short purple rim.

Full bodied and smooth with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate and elegant, with nice complexity and mouthfeel.

Showing blackberries, black currants, cooked cherries, cedar, licorice, vanilla, spices, chocolates, light tobacco, peppercorn, light earth, graphite and herbs.

Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.

This Cabernet Franc from Yakima Valley is already drinking very nicely. Rich and fruit forward. Nicely balanced with a soft mouthfeel.

This 6 year old is good right out of the bottle, and better after 2 hours of airtime. Will continue to age nicely in the next 10 years.

A good sipping wine, and will pair nicely with BBQ Meats too.

14.1% alcohol by volume.

92 points.

$55.

Pelissa Vineyard Zinfandel 2021

Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.

Spicy nose with black fruits, chocolates and light cedar.

Medium plus in body with medium plus acidity.

Dry on the palate with black cherries, sweet raspberries, plums, cedar, licorice, light vanilla, tobacco, light alcohol, peppercorn, espresso and chocolates.

Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cranberries.

This young Zinfandel from Oakville is starting to drink nicely now. Spicy and rich. Elegant and fruit forward. I really enjoyed the nose at this point.

A very interesting wine, as the nose shows black fruits, while red fruits dominate the palate.

This Single Vineyard Zinfandel will continue to age nicely in the next 7 to 10 years.

Good right out of the bottle and good by itself or with food.

100% Zinfandel grapes were aged for 14 months in American and Hungarian oak barrels. Only 25 barrels produced.

14.9% alcohol by volume.

91 points.
