Grand Reserve

Paso Robles Cabernet Franc

Trader Joe's Grand Reserve Cabernet Franc from the Paso Robles region presents a delightful experience for wine enthusiasts. This red wine boasts a full-bodied character that envelopes the palate with its luscious richness. With lively acidity, it offers an invigorating freshness that perfectly balances its fruit-forward profile. Expect prominent notes of dark berries, complemented by subtle hints of herbs and spices that add complexity to each sip. The tannins are firm yet well-integrated, providing a structured backbone to the wine without overwhelming the fruitiness. This Cabernet Franc leans toward a dry style, making it an excellent companion for hearty dishes or enjoyable on its own for those cozy evenings.

Central Coast
Central Coast

California's Central Coast might be a bit quieter than Napa or Sonoma to the north, but this lesser-known region produces many world-class wines. Enjoying incredible terroir along its vast 280-mile stretch—from San Francisco Bay to Santa Barbara—Central Coast wines are increasingly in demand. Its position between the Pacific Coast Ranges and the Southern Coast Ranges is key to its quality, with many cool-climate AVAs offering elegant Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Syrah and Merlot. In the hotter parts of the Central Coast, away from the coastal fogs and cold mountain slopes, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Syrah, Grenache and Mourvèdre are exceptional.
