Cabernet Franc is the name of both the red grape and the wine it produces. It is lighter than Cabernet Sauvignon, a bright pale red wine. It is principally grown for blending with Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot in the Bordeaux style, but can also be vinified alone. Given its newness in the United States, Cabernet Franc may just need time to get more attention and rise in quality.
Depending on growing region and style of wine, additional aromas can include tobacco, raspberry, and cassis, sometimes even violets. Read More...
A delicious blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot. Deep ruby core. Gorgeous ripe raspberry and currant with soft oak notes of vanilla.
Medium-dark ruby red with a red rim. Dried berry and cherry notes, a good dash of tangy seasoning from oak, and a very delicate herbal note. Medium-weight and dry, lean at first as the natural acid attacks the palate, then subsides into more red cherry flavors with just a hint of vanilla-laced oak.
