Why is it so hard to find Cabernet Franc in New England? I first tried it in the Maritimes, and then I found some at a winery in the Finger Lakes region. Wikipedia says it’s one of the twenty most popular styles worldwide. Apparently not near me! It’s not my favorite, but I will say it’s underrated. Heavy on deep grape and black currant, with notes of white or black pepper (I’m not a super-taster).
This 2013 Caya Cab Franc is pretty wonderful at age 11. There's a touch of olive, predictably, but also a backbone, some bite on the finish and an impression of depth. Listed at 13%, this lacks for little and delivers plenty. It's very impressive today, with plenty of time left, and reasonably priced in newer vintages (sub-$40). #wine #winesofnewyork #cabernetfranc @wolffer
The excitement in the Loire! Producers I've discovered in the last couple of years (Lambert, Dom des Closiers), some I've known longer, many stunning and new, and of course, Rougeard. Paywall, though, sorry.

In search of green tomato aromas in red wine, part two, this time in Italy: 2020 Le Monde Cabernet Franc.
Again, not exactly what I'm looking for, but very enjoyable. The nose is intriguing, with strong notes of dust (sic!), licorice, some chocolate, later opening into sime cherries.
Palate is fascinating too - at first I tasted some unripe wild strawberries, later it opened into black cherries, surprisingly strong black pepper and paprika - I like it!
First step on my search for a red wine with notes of green tomatoes: 2012 Domaine de la Cotelleraie Les Montils Saint-Nicolas-de-Bourgueil, based on the suggestion from the amazing @marksquires
Not exactly what I was looking for, but delicious nonetheless: nose of smoke with a hint of violets, and the palate of green pepper, cinnamon, some sour cherries, maybe a hint of licorice, and something close to jalapeños on the finish. Quite fascinating!
My son bought us a wine club subscription as a Xmas present. About to try the first red.

Son’s #birthday so the rare charcoal grilled steak #dinner topped w/ fresh rosemary, shallot, sun-dried tomato, Kalamata olive & Aleppo pepper compound butter & served with farm-fresh sautéed green beans & steamed sweet cob corn.
#wine pairing is a favorite #cabernetfranc offering ripe red plum, strawberry compote, blood orange, seasoned vanillin oak & earthy minerality.
I won't quite say that these are immortal, but this is in nice shape. It opens a little hard with a touch of char, then it blossoms. The juicy finish is enticing. It is certainly fully mature and it isn't getting any better. But it's still a nice drink.
