Martin Woods Walla Walla Valley Cabernet Franc 2021

Vinous - Eric Guido : 93 Points

(1/2024) The 2021 Cabernet Franc is a model of purity, with a varietal bouquet of green pepper, dried roses and black raspberries. This is softly textured yet nervy, with zesty red berry fruits propelled by vibrant acidity as chalky minerals collect toward the close. This finishes with amazing freshness yet potent, with a spicy flourish as round tannins frame the experience beautifully. Drinking Window: 2025 - 2030.

Wine Enthusiast : 93 Points

(10/1/2023) A graceful and elegant Cabernet Franc without a trace of new oak influence. A sweet Bing cherry perfume leads the way for aromas like lemon zest and a touch of roasted pork shoulder. Bright acidity matches silky tannins, with boysenberry scone and black coffee flavors worthy of brunch. Editors' Choice.
