Definition: Cabernet Sauvignon
Cabernet Sauvignon, often referred to as the “King of Red Wine Grapes,”
originally from Bordeaux, with a substantial foothold in California’s
wine races, has the privilege of being the world’s most sought after red
wine. Cabernet Sauvignon grapes tend to favor warmer climates and are
often an ideal wine for aging, with 5-10 years being optimal for the
maturation process to peak. Because Cabs take a bit longer to reach
maturation, allowing their flavors to mellow, they are ideal candidates
for blending with other grapes, primarily Merlot. This blending softens
the Cabernet, adding appealing fruit tones, without sacrificing its
innate character.
Flavor Profile
Cabs range from medium-bodied to full-bodied and are characterized by
their high tannin content which serves to provide structure and intrigue
while supporting the rich fruit characteristics. The flavor profile
includes plum, cherry, blackberry, blueberry, warm spice, vanilla,
tobacco and sometimes leather aromas and or flavors.
Food Pairings: red meats, flavorful and heartier (red) pastas,
lamb, strong-flavored cheese, and chocolates (especially dark).
