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.

The Finger Lakes wine region in upstate New York is home to some fine reds. This Cabernet Franc is a delicious example: full of dark berried fruits - blackberries and blueberries - it finishes fresh and lightly tannic. Works well with aged cheeses and grilled meats.

Cabernet Franc has traditionally been blended with other red Bordeaux varieties, including its relative Cabernet Sauvignon. The 2006 Cabernet Franc is a prime example of the fruity nature of all the 2006 vinifera reds. A sweet plummy core of weight wrapped with raspberry and bramble berries around a smooth yet gripping finish and supple tannins.
