High confidence
Exact registry match — this is a specific TTB COLA record. We found a strong match for this wine.
What to Expect
Expect a dessert-style wine crafted from a blend of Cabernet Franc and Merlot grapes, both sourced from California. With its aromatic qualities and lighter body compared to Cabernet Sauvignon, this wine offers a smooth texture that complements the soft tannins and moderate acidity characteristic of Merlot. Perfect for pairing with desserts or as a versatile cooking ingredient, this dessert/Port/Sherry/Cooking wine is both elegant and practical.
