Pindar Cabernet Franc 2019 750ml

Chocolate-covered cherries and toasty vanilla set the stage for a wine, whose acid-zipped fruit is remarkably fresh given its six years of age. Cherries, red plums and a kick of citrus remain lively and taut through the cocoa-dusted, birch-spiced finish. Drink or hold.

Varietal

Cabernet Franc

Cabernet Franc is not simply an important grape varietal for the fact that it is one of the most widely grown strains of vine in the world, but also because it is a vital grape in the production of many of the finest wines the world has ever seen. For centuries in its native France, it has been a varietal synonymous with elegance and high quality, and has become a key fruit in the production of the Bordeaux and Bordeaux-style blended wines which have gone down in history thanks to their magnificent flavors, aromas and levels of aged complexity. However, Cabernet Franc is also a wine grape varietal for use in single variety, unblended wines, and has plenty to offer on its own. Most commonly, it is renowned for its wide bouquet, which often includes fascinating notes of tobacco, violets or bell pepper over a beautifully pale and decadent liquid.
