My objective with the global vintage report for Cabernet Franc is to provide a snapshot of a grape, a place, a moment in time, and highlight the experiences of the people who work directly with the grape from vineyard to cellar. It serves as part reference for the wine drinker who may come across these wines in the market, and part reference for me — a record to return to when I cover these regions and their producers again in the future, with the legwork already done on how vintage conditions shaped what we taste in the glass. Vintage reports certainly don’t tell the whole story, but in the regions I cover below, my goal is to get first-hand insights from key producers who have a strong focus on Cabernet Franc in their particular region that is then supplemented by additional research. With coverage of 17 regions in 9 countries on 4 continents, the report is long — so dive into the sections that connect with the regions and wines you love to drink.
