Cabernet Franc

Cabernet Franc Wine Details
Price: $22.00 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. As a separate varietal it is similar to Cabernet Sauvignon, but has less acidity and a lighter body. The typical flavors found in Cabernet Franc are of black cherry, currant and berries. It is not uncommon to detect a hint of pepper in this variety. Will age very well.
