Taste Washington

Dad never gets the respect he deserves! Cabernet sauvignon remains the King of the World, bowed to by many, while its genealogical parent Cabernet franc stands in its popularity shadow. Seattle Magazine realizes Washington’s offerings with this amazing grape might just put a dent in the crown, having awarded it Best Emerging Varietal in their 2008 Best of Washington Wine Awards. Join their wine columnist Shannon Borg, San Francisco Chronicle’s Jon Bonne and Mark Davidson as they help you taste why this region’s “other Cabernets” are some of the New World’s most distinctive and respected.
