SEE WHAT’S HAPPENING
🎊Today is National Cabernet Franc Day so it`s time to celebrate this noble grape and give it the recognition it deserves! 🥳
👂When most people hear the word "Cab" in reference to wine, they automatically think Cabernet Sauvignon, but there`s more than one "Cab" and it happens to be the OG!
As a matter of fact, Cab Franc is the parent grape of Cab Sauv, Merlot, and Carménère; There’s a reason we call it the”big papa” grape 🍇
Originating from France, Cab Franc is a true chameleon and flaunts its versatility depending on where it`s grown 🌏
Our current vintage of Cab Franc is a great example of how this varietal can excel in a cool climate region. Aromas of sweet oak, freshly-tanned leather, and young bramble fruit lead to flavors of fresh boysenberries and raspberry tea leaf 🍃, with delicate notes of spice from well-integrated oak.
Because we love Cab Franc so much at BSF, we’re offering 10% off bottles of our Cab on our online store! 🤑Today ONLY use code CABFRANC to score this discount - Cannot be combined with other discounts or promotions.
