The lively spice and pepper of Cabernet Franc take center stage in this approachable wine from Hungary, though the nose tends toward slightly green at first pass. On the palate, prominent pepper, sturdy tannins and a plucky wave of red fruit give the wine a kick. Pair with spiced meat or foods with a peppery profile for the best pairing experience.——S.K.(5/1/2008)—— 86
