The 2016 Wenatchee Wine & Food Festival wine competition (formerly known as the North Central Washington Wine Awards) judged 233 wines from 35 Washington wineries. Approximately 15% of the wines earned Gold or Double Gold.
Here is the write-up, as reported in Foothills Magazine:
GOLD
Cabernet
Franc
Beaumont Cellars 2014 Cabernet Franc, Columbia Valley, $32 (60 cases)
Judges’ comments: Winemaker Pete Beaumont caught our eye a few years ago with his
initial release of red wines, and his talent in the cellar continues to grow.
This remarkable Cab Franc unveils aromas of Bing cherry and dried blueberry,
followed by elegant flavors of cherry, red currant and loganberry. It’s all
balanced with fine-grained tannins that lead to a long, elegant finish.
