Winemaker Notes
The 2015 Domaine Olivier Clos Faguesche opens with an intense nose of dark fruit with hints of pepper and spice. The mouth is filled with wild red fruit and enchanting acidity, with notes of vanilla.
Perfectly paired with lamb, goat cheeses, or a Coq au Vin.
Cabernet Franc, a proud parent of Cabernet Sauvignon, is the subtler and more delicate of the Cabernets. Today Cabernet Franc produces outstanding single varietal wines across the wine-producing world. Somm Secret—One of California's best-kept secrets is the Happy Canyon appellation of Santa Barbara. Here Cabernet Franc shines as a single varietal wine or in blends, expressing sumptuous fruit, savory aromas and polished tannins.
On the north bank of the Loire Valley in the western end of the greater Touraine region, Bourgueil makes a sturdy and aromatic Cabernet Franc.
