What to Expect
LA GRANDE ABBESSE blends the soft tannic texture of Merlot with the aromatic lighter body of Cabernet Franc. As one of the most commercially produced reds in the American wine market, Merlot is widely planted in California and Washington. Meanwhile, Cabernet Franc is more aromatic and lighter-bodied than Cabernet Sauvignon, appearing both as a standalone varietal label and as a blending component across regions including California, the Mid-Atlantic, and the Pacific Northwest.
