Substance Cabernet Franc 2008

Walla Walla WA

Tonight’s dinner was a rib steak, with sauté onions and peppers, served with sweet potato fries and grilled zucchini with a chimichurri sauce on the side just in case.

To accompany this perfectly cooked steak I open a bottle of the Substance Cabernet Franc. Beautiful rich purple color, with aromas of cassis, plum, herbs and hints of vegetal notes. Give your glass some air and notes of toast and currants will come around; followed once more by vegetal notes. On the palate the wine is BIG and firm showcasing the fruit hints of pepper and herbs with firm acidity. A long long spicy finish makes it a perfect wine in my book.

Can’t think of a better wine to do my dinner justice.

*****/5
