Cabernet Franc

Cabernet Franc Wine Details
Price: $28.00 per bottle

Description: Cabernet Franc is one of the lesser-known Bordeaux varietals. Traditionally it was thought that this grape produced a soft, non-descript wine, which was best used for blending. At Truchard Vineyards we have discovered that it produces an intense, full-bodied wine that adds complexity and richness to our Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, but has enough character and structure to stand on its own. The 2001 Cabernet Franc has Intense aromas of black cherry and floral blueberry; highlighted with cedar, tobacco, and mint. The mouth is layered with ripe flavors of berry jam, cassis, and plum. Supple tannins fill the palate and provide a lengthy finish of red fruit and spice.
