QUESTION: Why don't more wineries make Cabernet Franc?

ANSWER: That's what we'd like to know!

Cabernet Franc makes a lovely varietal wine with a sweet floral aroma. But most of it--both here in the United States and in its historic home of France--gets blended, most commonly with Cabernet Sauvignon.

The wine clubs of Vinesse have featured several excellent Cab Francs through the years, and as we uncover outstanding bottlings from recent vintages, we'll be sure to feature them.
