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 17\u003csup\u003eth\u003c\/sup\u003e century when the vine was brought to the Loire Valley by Cardinal Richelieu. The wine became more popular in the 18\u003csup\u003eth\u003c\/sup\u003e and 19\u003csup\u003eth\u003c\/sup\u003e 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.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"tamarack-ciel-de-cheval-vineyard-reserve-2013","title":"Tamarack Ciel de Cheval Vineyard Reserve 2013","description":"\u003cp\u003eTamarack Ciel de Cheval Vineyard Reserve holds dark and chocolate nauces, spiced with pretty notes of allspice and clove, this wine is round and rich, bursting with ripe berries, combined with an earthy complexity and a velvety finish.

Rubypurple and not completely opaque, it offers up a classic Cabernet Franc nose of mostly red fruits, spring flowers, damp earth, cedary spices, and truffle. Medium to full-bodied on the palate, it shines for its incredible elegance and purity more than outright power, yet it still brings plenty of richness.
