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.

his is a medium- to full-bodied wine, dry, with a strong sense of minerals and “earthiness.” I also detected hints of pepper at the end. It’s an interesting wine, and one that I think will grow more interesting if left to sit for a year or so. The wine is punch-cap fermented and aged in Oak Barrels. The Tasting Notes indicate that the Cabernet Franc is one of Hopkins’ signature wines; it is a Silver Medal Winner in the Big E Competition and the Amenti Del Vino International Wine Competition and was awarded a Bronze Medal from the Tasters Guild International and the Tasters Guild Wine Lovers Competition. read more...
