Wine Details
Price:
$15.00 per bottle
Description:
Cabernet Franc, like Merlot, has traditionally been a part of the blend used to create Bordeaux red wines. The climate in Virginia seems agreeable to this grape variety and many notable vintages have been produced. The increasing popularity of this wine is helping to boost the reputation of premium wine producers in Virginia. Recent DNA research had determined that Cabernet Franc (red) and Sauvignon Blanc (white) are the parents of Cabernet Sauvignon.
As a separate varietal it is similar to Cabernet Sauvignon, but has less acidity and a lighter body. The typical flavors found in our Cab Franc are blackberry, currant and spice with chocolate and leather notes. It is highly structured with an intriguing complexity of taste sensations due to the tannins and overall balance.
Our Cab Franc has been barrel aged and can be cellared for extended aging or enjoyed today. This is a special wine to serve with grilled meats, beef, poultry, game, lamb, veal, pork, pasta with red sauces and hard and savory cheeses.
