What an interesting wine. In researching this wine, I have discovered that the Cabernet Franc is a dark blue grape variety that is often compared to the cabernet sauvignon. Sure enough, this red is tannic, herbal and spicy. I think the aroma is different than a cabernet — the herbs and spices are much more prevalent in the franc than a sauvignon. There is a vanilla and graphite finish. I think it is fabulous. I love the strong, assertive bouquet and the aggressive tannic finish. Totally yummy. This Uva Negra Cabernet Franc is a keeper!

I served this wine with marinated flank steak, grilled veggetables and a warm tortolini sald for Father’s Day and my guests couldn’t get enough.
This was one of the best Red wines from anywhere at any price that we have tried.

What a great choice of wines to accompany what was obviously a delicious meal. I’m so glad that you enjoyed it. Your note reminds me of how much we enjoyed the wine and that we need to purchase more. Thanks for taking the time to comment.

I received a bottle of the Uva Negra Cabernet Franc as one of the shipments from a wine club. The club was a Christmas gift from my son. It was by far the best wine I’ve received through this club. I intend to order more! In fact, I’ll be serving it at my wedding in October (for our wine ceremony).
