2016 Buty Merlot Cabernet Franc Connor Lee Vineyard Columbia Valley

With alluring aromas of red berries, cinnamon, ginger spice and sweet cream, along with luscious flavors of jammy red fruit and dusty cocoa powder, this dynamic and elegantly flowing wine shows why Conner Lee is considered one of Washington’s greatest vineyards!

Because 2016 was a particularly spectacular Cabernet Franc vintage at Conner Lee, this gorgeous wine includes the highest percentage of Cabernet Franc in more than a decade. As a result, the nose displays alluring layers of red berries, cinnamon, ginger spice and sweet cream, along with undercurrents of dusty cocoa powder. On the palate, jammy red fruit and floral notes mingle with savory hints of roasted red pepper coulis, all underscored by firm, rich tannins and lovely energy. A must for any collection!
