A magnificent grape. You may see it blended with Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. On its own yields a medium bodied wine that can have great complexity and depth. It is a versatile variety with mid season budding and late ripening. Flavor profile is fruity and vegetal. Records of Cabernet Franc in Bordeaux go back to the end of the 18th century, although it was planted in Loire long before that time. Let’s plant some!
