Cabernet Franc
Filter
Cabernet Franc is a black grape variety used all over the world and is sometimes used as a blending grape in Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot wines. Cabernet Franc is used in blends and produce aromas similar to raspberry, bell pepper, cassis, or tobacco. The variation in aroma depends mainly on the region where the grape was grown and the type of wine created. Cabernet Franc is said to have originated in the Libournais region of France in the 17th century when the vine was brought to the Loire Valley by Cardinal Richelieu. The wine became more popular in the 18th and 19th centuries. Cabernet Franc produces a light red wine, and gives stronger grapes a light pepper flavor. This blue and black grape is lighter than Cabernet Sauvignon, although it is very similar. Cabernet Franc gives a lighter flavor compared to its sister, Cabernet Sauvignon, and is often blended with other grape varieties. The grape grows best in sandy soils, although it can adapt easily to different climates. Cabernet Franc is one of the top 20 most planted varieties in the world, and can be found in China, Europe, and Kazakhstan. This thin-skinned grape produces beautiful tones of red and black berries, pepper, violet, and plum. Cabernet Franc is a perfect blend with various poultry dishes, Middle Eastern cuisine, vegetable pizza, or couscous.

The Grade Cellar Kingly Project Cabernet Sauvignon is made from Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon.
"This is a noble expression of Cabernet Sauvignon" in full regalia, with decadent aromas and a mouthfeel viscous and sleek. "This vintage of the Kingly Project Cabernet Sauvignon enters the scene" -- Thomas Rivers Brown
Review:
The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Kingly Project is fabulous. A wine of vertical power and thrust, the 2019 soars out of the glass, showing magnificent intensity from start to finish. Black cherry, scorched earth, licorice, plum and chocolate give this substantial Cabernet tons of complexity. I would cellar the 2019 for at least a few years to allow the tannins to soften. -
