Description:
2002 We ferment Temptation from 100% Cabernet Franc juice bled from the freshly-crushed vats of red grapes. The semi-sweet wine shows a light cherry color from 6-10 hours of skin contact, while aromas of strawberry, spearmint, lilac, and rose dominate the glass. Give in to Temptation on the beach, by the fireplace, at sunset....

Varietal Definition
Cabernet Franc:
Cabernet Franc is an accessible, spicy, herbal, dark blue grape variety that is often compared to Cabernet Sauvignon. Cabernet Franc tends to be softer and has less tannin than Cabernet Sauvignon, although the two can be difficult to distinguish. Sometimes the French refer to Cabernets, which could mean either of the two grapes. Its typical aromas include an herbaceous and pronounced peppery nose, even in ripe fruit, and something eerily like tobacco. The Cabernet Franc ripens at an earlier stage, which gives it reason to exist in the Bordeaux area. In the Loire, where we find it a lot, it gives a clear red fresh and fruity wine.
