Best Cabernet Franc in Sonoma County
Cabernet Franc is the connoisseur's grape in Sonoma County — more aromatic and elegant than its offspring Cabernet Sauvignon, with signature notes of violets, red currant, and graphite. Often used as a blending component, the wineries below champion Cabernet Franc as a standalone varietal, producing wines of real distinction.
With only a handful of dedicated producers in the region, these Cab Franc specialists are worth seeking out for anyone who appreciates finesse over power.
