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.
It all started in an innocent, somehow subtle manner. Yet, as an anonymous somebody once said “Wine improves with age. The older I get, the better I like it.” So having drunk a dollop of wine and being over a quarter of century (good vintage, right?) I finally had to succumb. I dare to call it a passion. I swear at the bad one and admire the good one, cause "[l]ife is to short to drink bad wine."
