| 2008 Owen Roe Cabernet Franc "Rosa Mystica" Winery: Owen Roe Vintage: 2008 Wine Name/Vineyard: "Rosa Mystica" Wine Category: Cabernet Franc Grape blend: 95% Cabernet Franc & 5% Merlot Region: Yakima Valley State or country: WA Price: $42 Cases produced: 950 KWG Score: 89.6 (based on 3 reviews) Ken's Wine Rating: Very Good (89) Review date: March 21, 2011 Wine Review: This dark ruby Cab Franc from the Yakima Valley in Washington opens with a shy black cherry bouquet with a hint of earth and thyme. On the palate, this wine is light bodied, balanced, and easy going. The flavor profile is a tasty mild black raspberry with nicely integrated mild oak and red currant. There was also a touch of black pepper detected as well. The finish is dry and its fine tannins are gentle. Pair this food friendly Cab Franc with a Colorado rack of lamb. Enjoy - Ken Winemaker Notes: The 2008 Rosa Mystica is deeply aromatic with scents of cranberries, rhubarb, roasted peppers, purple flowers, star anise, cedar, and black soil. On the palate, lively red and deep black fruits take center stage, gentle tannins and livley acids emerge in a beautiful and lingering finish. Drink now through 2015. Organic status: not organic Buy it: Use 1000 Corks to find stores that sell Owen Roe 2008 Rosa Mystica.
