Founded in 2000, Saviah Cellars offers an extremely wide range of limited production wines including the only Barbera from Walla Walla, an attractive Nebbiolo, and this extremely well-made Cabernet Franc. It was sourced from three vineyards: Watermill Vineyard which is located in The Rocks District, Dugger Creek Vineyard and the Summit View Vineyard. It is a textbook example of the varietal with aromas of ripe berry, spice, tobacco and anise. Medium bodied, it has similar flavors with highlights of dried herbs and raspberry fruit. It has a slightly fleshy palate feel and no rough edges as it finishes long with light tannin.
