Cabernet Franc 2023

Cabernet Franc (kab-er-nay frah~n) originates in the Loire region of France but is best known as a blending grape for Bordeaux style reds. It tends to have similar flavors to Cabernet Sauvignon but is lighter in intensity and color. DNA testing has proven Cabernet Franc to be a parent grape of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Carménère. This vibrant Cabernet Franc has a bright berry hue. Aromas of spices, fresh raspberry, with a hint of slate and blueberries. On the palate, rhubarb mengales with strawberries and cranberries. Bright flavors morph on the finish into light tannins and green tea leaves.
