Food Pairing Notes
Full-bodied Cabernet Francs such as the 2020 Terroir Cabernet Franc thrive with herb-driven, earthy and savory dishes which can balance the tannins and complement the herbaceous undertones. Pair with roasted lamb, roast duck or wild game. The earthiness of the wine also makes it an excellent accompaniment to tomato based dished such as eggplant parmesan or ratatouille. For cheese look to washed-rind cheese like Munster or Taleggio or even the classic pairing of goat cheese with Cabernet Franc.
