Cabernet Franc

In a perfect world Cabernet Franc would be well-known for its puppy character and concentrated red-fruit aroma. In a less-perfect world (the one we live in), it is know to just few. And it is often regarded as a worse cousin of Cabernet Sauvignon. Cabernet Franc, cover your ears!

AROMA AND FLAVOUR:
It boasts fresh fragrance of raspberries and perhaps and freshly mown grass. It is best served with cold ham salad.

BEST REGIONS:
* France, Bourgueil & Chinon - you will never find a grape on the label. Look for the location.

** Norther Italy - this Cabernet Franc will be leaner and more tart.
