2006 Cabernet Franc

See our complete wine selection

A perennial favorite of our wine club - this is a delicious example of that "other" Cabernet, which is actually a much older grape variety than Cabernet Sauvignon.

Cabernet Franc is very versatile wine. It offers many of the positives of both Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. Aromatic with some dense fruit flavors. Notes of mocha, smoke, jalapeno peppers and violets on nose. Red fruit flavors, currant, with a very smooth velvet finish. 

Due to individual state regulations we can only ship to the following 29 states: Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Iowa, Louisiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oregon, South Carolina, Texas, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, Wisconsin, Wyoming and to the District of Columbia. We can also ship internationally, however it's pretty expensive.

Winemaker's notes

Harvested on Oct 31st, grapes were gently crushed, and cold soaked for three days before innoculation with Pastuer Red yeast. Fermentation was held at a constant 80°, and then the wine was gently pressed and racked to French oak barrels for ageing. After 20 months the wines were settled, fined, and gently filtered before bottling. Lovely now, or hold up to 3 years.


Pairing with food

Fantastic with fruit glazed pork chops or

pork loin roast. Also pairs well with

lamb kabobs.

Matches with cheese

We love this wine with Cypress Grove Lamb Chopper, or aged pecorino sheep's milk cheese.
