Description:
Cabernet Franc appears similar to Cabernet Sauvignon but is different in many respects. The leaf indentation is not as pronounced. It breaks bud and ripens about a week earlier. It does not develop deep skin color. At harvest clusters often appear immature because of the poor skin color, however fruit compositions achieve excellent balances. Surprisingly, wine color can be fairly dark but a shade lighter than Cabernet Sauvignon. It has a fruitier taste with significant tannin primarily in the front of the palate. Barrel aging in new american oak seems to create a more integrated wine than with other barrel programs.
