Cabernet Franc is one of the major black grape varieties worldwide. It is principally grown for blending with Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot in the Bordeaux style, but we believe the Virginia “Cab Franc” has remarkable characteristics calling for it to stand alone. This is a black grape varietal, grown on our leased Shenandoah vines. It has notes of dark fruit and a long-lasting black pepper finish. Aged in Hungarian oak, this approachable light bodied wine with soft tannins can be enjoyed now, but also ages well in the bottle.
