What to Expect
Cabernet Franc, along with Sauvignon Blanc, is a parent of the more famous Cabernet Sauvignon. Quite similar in many ways to Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc tends to have higher acid and lighter tannins than its offspring, with fruit in the redder end of the spectrum and a distinctive, aggressive herbal note that can dominate the wine's aromas.
Winemakers Notes
"The nose presents a combination ofblackberry, raisin, prune and apricot aromas that lengthen with oakyand spicy tones. On the palate, this wine displays great elegance withgood acidity, moderate tannins and bright berry fruit. Opening thiswine early will benefit the tasting, allowing the wine to breathe." - Winemaker NotesCheese Pairings: Goat, Blue, CamembertFood Pairings: Lamb Chops, Grilled Eggplant, Beef and Vegetable Stew

Reviews Add a Review
Loved this wine, but gave my last bottle to a neighbor! Spent a lovely week at Seneca Lake last summer and came home with a trunkful of Dr. Frank's wines. Not sold on the Pinot Noir, but the Cab Franc was full and dark and a pleasure on cool summer evenings. Reminded us of the lake breeze and delightful sunsets!
