Cabernet Franc (International), Just in time for Cabernet Franc day.


Cabernet Franc (International)
is, I think, a logically short list, mostly France, where it is usually a blending red wine for Bordeaux, but in the appellation of Chinon, Cabernet Franc excels, and though not well known in New Hampshire (it can be a bit tough to find here), but does occasionally show-up in the local wine stores; such as it is, they add to my short list of reviewed Cabernet Franc wines found outside of the USA, tasted and reviewed.
Cabernet Franc,
the father of Cabernet Sauvignon:
