From VinePair’s “Best Cabernet Francs for 2024” list:
“Wines made from Cab Franc range from light and quaffable to rich and tannic depending on both region and winemaking styles. Cool-climate examples from the Loire Valley, Finger Lakes, or Long Island can be lively and fresh with tart red fruit, spicy green pepper notes, and crisp acidity. They can be aged in stainless steel for a more punchy expression or in oak barrels to add hints of cedar and tobacco. Cabernet Francs from warmer sites like Napa Valley and Paso Robles can result in bigger wines with juicy, ripe fruit, and typically a heavier oak influence.”
