Cabernet Franc has become one of the world's most desired red grapes and shows best when it comes from its native France...balanced with Merlot, the way many First-Growths do it. It’s called “Bouchet” in the local dialect and Merlot takes its name from “Merle” (the blackbird that chooses Merlot as its preferred breakfast, lunch & dinner). Cabernet Franc has a magic richness of blue and purple fruits and the spice of exotic perfumes and cinnamons when perfectly ripe. It’s become one of the most desired grapes globally but shows best from its native France’s “Franc Corridor” stretching from the Loire Valley, through St. Emilion, and down to the ocean-facing elevations of Carcassone. The great First-Growths of Bordeaux’s Right Bank blend it with Merlot to create the interplay of Francs’ intensity & spice with Merlot’s velvety richness. Enjoy this 60% Cabernet Franc/40% Merlot from 100% estate-grown fruit.
