Like a Picasso painting, Cabernet Franc has many faces. This case shines a spotlight on a few of its myriad visages. Think you know it, think again. One thing's for sure, if you like multi-layered red wines that stop and make you think, this one's for you. Lots of these can also be served chilled, and go quite nicely with cheese and charcuterie which we hear are popular summertime treats.
