Full-bodied enough to be thought of as "thick", but sits lightly and gently on the palate.

The fragrant Cabernet aromas of cassis and black fruit are underscored by discreet notes of vanilla, cedar and tobacco, and carry into ripe, intense berry fruit flavors on the palate.

[The Oregon Wine Blog] The Oregon Wine Blog: Non-Traditional Wines: Cabernet Franc: In recent times, it turns out some of the earliest plantings of cab franc in California were mistaken for merlot. Once wine makers were convinced the grape could hold up by itself, many wine makers in the Northwest have been planting it due to its relatively low level of maintenance and early ripening.

[mykerem.com - A Network Of Wine Knowledge] Hagafen Winery Visit | mykerem.com: This is Hagafen’s second release of a single varietal Cabernet Franc, the other one being the 1996 vintage.  We really loved the 1996 vintage, but this one was even better, though it has been around 10 years since we last tasted it.  The nose on this dark garnet to black colored wine showed a bit of floral notes, along with a bunch of rich and ripe raspberry, black cherry, plum, and spicy oak.  The mouth on this full bodied wine is filled with plum, raspberry, and black cherry in a concentrated package that keeps coming at you.  The mid palate is packed with balancing acidity, tobacco, spicy oak, and nice tannins.  The finish is long with chocolate, fig, vanilla, rich ripe fruit, spicy oak, and pepper.  Quite a lovely Cabernet Franc that will age well for at least a few more years.

[My Daily Grape] Tuesday 02.16.10 Alexander Valley Vineyards | My Daily Grape:  That’s why we sourced the fruit for our New Gewurz from cool climate vineyards in Mendocino County including sites that have been organically farmed for some 40 years. In fact, the organic fruit is one piece of our efforts toward sustainable winegrowing, efforts that include equipping the winery with solar panels and using organic approaches in the vineyards.

[Into Wine] Best Recommendations for Napa Cabernet Sauvignon's under $100 ...: However, with just a few exceptions, I’d stay away from any wine that is over 14.5% alcohol, whether over or under $100. The easy thing about selecting a good California Cab under $100 is that the best ones, in my opinion, aren’t likely to have received strong critical acclaim from the influential press, so unless they have historic pedigree, they are likely to be under $100.

[mykerem.com - A Network Of Wine Knowledge] Chicken Soup, Moroccan Stew, and a nice Teperberg Cabernet ...: The meal started with the chicken soup, and was followed by the stew along with quinoa and fresh green salad.  To pair, I went looking for a wine that had enough stamina to stand up to the rich stew, and I decided on a Cabernet Sauvignon.  With that classification set, I chose the 2006 Teperberg Cabernet Sauvignon Silver.  The wine is mevushal, and it is still quite a joy.  The fruit is a bit over the top and rich to start, but the wine has enough body to match the rich fruit nose.  The wine note follows below:

[Woot Wine! - One Week, One Wine] Wine.Woot : X Winery Cabernet - Three Pack: We’re helpless before your 2006 Amicus Spring Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon, a limited-production red sourced from the best grapes in the Spring Mountain District high above Napa Valley. Rich and sensuous with a strong backbone, its explosive aromas and full-palate flavors of dark fruit, plum, and bing cherry are laced with rose-petal and earthy notes.

[WHY WINE BLOG] WHY WINE BLOG: Why Wine: Atwater Estate Vineyards Cabernet-Merlot 2007: The aromas were of plum and a hint of licorice, almost like a holiday fruit cake, without the spices. In the mouth, the taste was more mature than I thought it should be at it's young age, soft and mellow with a hint of chocolate.
