From CA to the historic Loire Valley

Unveil the Potential of Cabernet Franc

Introducing our exclusive Cabernet Franc selection, sourced from renowned regions like California and the historic Loire Valley. California winemakers are increasingly turning to Cabernet Franc in their Bordeaux-style blends to balance out the excessive sweetness of varietals like Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, thanks to its natural acidity. This versatile grape thrives in warm climates, offering a peppery taste without being overly tannic.

Cabernet Franc has long been revered in France for centuries. In the Loire Valley, Cabernet Franc reigns supreme as the region's most important red varietal, boasting a rich history dating back to the 14th century. Chateau Lafleur, in Pomerol, showcases the innovative use of Cabernet Franc in its blends, with recent vintages featuring over 60% of this grape to counterbalance the effects of warm weather on Merlot.

At Benchmark Wine Group, we're thrilled to offer you these exceptional Cabernet Francs, carefully chosen to elevate your cellar Whether you prefer the bold flavors of black cherry and plum or crave a hint of spice, our collection caters to a diverse range of preferences.
