Cabernet Franc is often called the “parent behind the greats,” yet in the glass, it stands entirely on its own—aromatic, refined, and quietly captivating.
In this guided class, we’ll explore the many expressions of Cabernet Franc across the world, from the lifted, herbal elegance of the Loire Valley to the plush, structured blends of Bordeaux Right Bank, and into New World interpretations from New York, and Argentina.
Along the way, we’ll taste a curated lineup that highlights Cabernet Franc’s hallmark characteristics—vibrant red fruit, fresh acidity, savory herbal notes, and fine tannic structure—while uncovering how climate, soil, and winemaking shape its personality in the glass.
