Cabernet Franc is a black-skinned French wine grape variety grown in most wine producing nations. The variety is most famously known as the third grape of Bordeaux and can be found in many of the world's top Bordeaux blend wines. As a varietal wine, Cabernet Franc is delicate and aromatic – particularly in its youth. It shares many of the same attributes of Cabernet Sauvignon, but is distinct by its pronounced green, vegetal note that can range from leafy and garrigue to green bell pepper. Deep ruby color, well structured with fragrant black cherry flavors, bell pepper, these classic cabernet varietal characteristics are framed with firm tannins and a fresh finish.
