Mike's Tip
It is rare that I find a pure Cabernet Franc outside of Hungary that I would put to our members. The 3 silver medals this wine received indeed got my interest. This variety has a slightly higher acidity than a Saugvignon, making it a little less full and (for me) a much better match to clean grilled meat. Look for hints of strawberry from this wine harvested from the hills bordering Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay.
