Description:
Harvested in late October our estate grown Cabernet Franc is an elegant wine, reminiscent of those produced in the Loire Valley in France. This wine shows bright cherry and pepper aromas and flavors, soft silky tannins, with hints of smoke and leather. 100% Cabernet Franc, this style is food friendly, pairing well with roasted small game, grilled meats, and fish steaks.

Varietal Definition
Cabernet Franc:
Cabernet Franc is an accessible, spicy, herbal, dark blue grape variety that is often compared to Cabernet Sauvignon. Cabernet Franc tends to be softer and has less tannin than Cabernet Sauvignon, although the two can be difficult to distinguish. Sometimes the French refer to Cabernets, which could mean either of the two grapes. Its typical aromas include an herbaceous and pronounced peppery nose, even in ripe fruit, and something eerily like tobacco. The Cabernet Franc ripens at an earlier stage, which gives it reason to exist in the Bordeaux area. In the Loire, where we find it a lot, it gives a clear red fresh and fruity wine.
