Pairing Chocolate with Cabernet Franc

Cabernet Franc is gaining popularity as a stand alone wine. It is often used to blend with Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon to give them a new complexity. Its taste stands between Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot being slightly lighter than Cabernet Sauvignon and a hint spicier than Merlot. Some of its common flavors are chocolate, coffee, berry and fruit palette, spicy herbs and pepper. It is an easy drinking wine and, if done properly, it is smooth and succulent with a bright fruity flavor.
