I love that grape - maybe my favorite.

Hope you can help,

Andrew

I have madea Cellar Craft Limited Edition kit, but that was in 2003. Here's a
description I took off the net at that time. I just searched Cellar Craft, but
they don't appear to have one this year .




Cabernet Franc is now known to be one of the parent varieties which created
Cabernet Sauvignon. It has long been used as an integral part of typical wines
from the Bordeaux and Loire regions and is now successful in most major areas
of the wine world. Cabernet Franc has proven to be well suited to the Yakima
Valley where it is used both for an added touch in big reds and as a
stand-alone varietal.
Our "Crushed Grape Pack" of Cabernet Franc enables fermentation on the skins
for a new level of excellence in wine from kits. Skin contact builds
complexity, depth and great aging potential. The wine releases aromas of
raspberry, plum and cedar. The flavours suggest raspberry and chocolate within
an overall distinctive, herbaceous tone. Premium Hungarian oak shavings add
toasted and vanilla elements to complete the structure of this bold wine. Shows
its quality after 4 - 6 months but continues to develop for at least 2 years.

I bought one a few years ago, and it was really grand. Loved it.

Or you could also try Woodstick Wines <http://www.woodstick-wines.ca>. I've
bought from them, mail-order, a couple of times, and been very satisfied.
Betty at Woodstick is really great to work with.

Thank You, very much.
