Cabernet Franc is a red wine from various regions in France, particularly the Loire Valley and Bordeaux. It has a deep garnet color and a complex, herbaceous flavor profile. The nose reveals aromas of red berries, such as raspberry and cherry, with hints of green pepper and herbs. On the palate, it is medium-bodied with firm tannins and flavors of ripe fruit, spice, and a touch of earthiness. Cabernet Franc pairs well with roasted meats, game, and rich stews.
