Price:
$23.00 per bottle
Description:
This is a rich Cabernet Franc with a tinge of Merlot. Flavors of ripe raspberry and blueberry with tobacco touches that create a slightly rustic, yet robust red wine that demands a smoky-grilled steak. The acidity and tannin level tells us that you will enjoy this wine for several years to come.

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.
