The 2022 Dineen Vineyards Cabernet Franc from Washington’s Zillah region offers an elegant profile of dark cherry, raspberry, and blackcurrant, softened by subtle hints of green pepper and eucalyptus. With a medium-to-full body and smooth, present tannins, it delivers the aromatic complexity and herbaceous nuance typical of high-quality Cabernet Franc, reminiscent of premium examples from the Loire Valley. The wine is well-balanced and flavorful without being heavy, making it approachable yet structured enough for thoughtful pairing. It pairs beautifully with grilled meats, roasted vegetables, herb-infused dishes, or aged cheeses, and shines especially with Greek cuisine and fresh herbs.
Serve it slightly below room temperature alongside a herbed chicken dish or a plate of olives and feta for a summer-friendly meal.
