 Cabernet Franc (pron. CAB-ER-NAY FRONK) def.- a red wine often blended with Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot to produce clarets in France and California, but which is usually disappointing as a varietal wine… except, of course, in Michigan’s Leelanau appellation where the soon-to-be-famous 1999 Raftshol Vineyards’ Cabernet Franc (q.v.) reveals to the truly discerning heretofore unknown aromatic and flavonoid nuances. Open 12-5 daily. Raftshol Vineyards
