Cabernet Franc

A prominent grape varietal throughout the world with a significant presence in France.  The varietal itself is known for being light to medium bodied with aromas of black currant, raspberry and plum highlighted with textbook tobacco leaf, even a cedar character.  This versatile grape can be used as a blending varietal to lend structure in full-bodied, opulent reds but also thrives singularly when grown in cooler climates.
