WINE DESCRIPTION
Covington Cabernet Franc, from Washington's renowned Columbia Valley, is a high-quality expression of this elegant varietal. Sourced from carefully selected vineyard sites, the grapes benefit from the region's warm days and cool nights, which promote balanced ripening and rich flavor development. After a meticulous harvest, the grapes are vinified with care to preserve the essence of the fruit, followed by aging in oak barrels. This process enhances the wine's structure and depth, allowing it to showcase the unique terroir of Columbia Valley while offering a smooth, refined finish.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
On the nose, Covington Cabernet Franc presents enticing aromas of ripe red berries, such as raspberry and cherry, along with hints of black pepper and tobacco.These aromas are complemented by subtle floral notes, adding a touch of elegance to the overall bouquet.
The palate is equally impressive, with flavors of blackberry, plum, and currant taking center stage. The fruit flavors are well-balanced by the wine's moderate acidity and velvety tannins, creating a harmonious and smooth mouthfeel. As the wine lingers on the palate, a touch of oak and spice emerges, adding depth and complexity to the finish.
