Cabernet Franc
Cabernet Franc, one of the five official Bordeaux varieties, often comes across as a lighter, softer, spicier and more herbaceous version of Cabernet Sauvignon and is routinely used as a blending grape. For those interested in more of an old world style wine, Cabernet Franc can be a good Cabernet Sauvignon alternative. Washington and California consistently produce the most highly regarded Cabernet Franc. Oregon, New York and Virginia have also seen significant success with Cabernet Franc. |
