It produces medium-bodied wines with flavors of red berries, herbs, and a distinctive peppery note. The ABV for Cabernet Franc wines generally ranges from 12-14.5%.

Originating from the Bordeaux region, Cabernet Franc has spread to many wine regions, including the Loire Valley, Italy, and the New World. The grape's adaptability to different climates and soils allows it to produce a range of styles, from fresh and fruity to more structured and age-worthy wines.
