Which vegetable flavor is found in Cabernet Franc?

  1. Green bell pepper

  2. Carrot

  3. Spinach

  4. Radish

The correct answer is: Green bell pepper

The flavor of green bell pepper in Cabernet Franc is primarily attributed to compounds known as pyrazines, which are naturally present in the grape. These compounds contribute to the herbaceous or vegetal notes characteristic of Cabernet Franc, distinguishing it from other varietals. The presence of green bell pepper flavor is often more pronounced in cooler climate regions where the grapes develop this complex flavor profile, allowing for a unique expression of the varietal. This characteristic is widely recognized and appreciated among wine enthusiasts and connoisseurs for the depth it adds to the overall tasting experience of Cabernet Franc.
