Humberto Canale has another Cab Franc from the Marcus listed above, the "Black River", which is also imported in NY by Romano Brands. Cab Franc is sort of an up and coming grape here, and there's not a huge amount of it produced as a single varietal wine - it's used much more in blends than anything else, so there aren't a large number of them even out there.

No one I talked to had heard of any being imported to the U.S. I would like to try one - do you happen to know if any are imported to the U.S. (that would be exported to you....)
