Cabernet Franc vs Cabernet Sauvignon

Your cellar deserves both sides of Cabernet

The Debate Is On. And the Cellar Is Stocked.

It’s one of the great comparisons in the wine world. Two classic grapes, often intertwined—but with distinct personalities when bottled solo. Cabernet Sauvignon brings power, structure, and age-worthy gravitas. Cabernet Franc leans more aromatic, herbal, and sculpted, with a savory finesse collectors quietly chase.

This week, we’re spotlighting both sides of the spectrum—from the iconic to the rare. On one end: big-name Cabernets from Scarecrow, Abreu, Hundred Acre, and Bevan. On the other: standout Francs from Caladan, Realm, Morlet, Hourglass, and beyond.

Whether you’re team Cab or a Francophile at heart, there’s never been a better time to explore both. All bottles come with our provenance guarantee.

Which side of the cellar are you on?
