Cabernet Sauvignon
Top countries producing this wine: |
Cabernet Sauvignon is considered to be the most popular red wine in the world. It is produced in many countries including the United States, Australia, Chile, and Argentina. It is also used as a major blending grape in many countries such as Italy where it is used in red blends nicknamed “Super Tuscans”. Most notably, it is popular in the Bordeaux region of France where it is often blended with Merlot and sometimes Cabernet Franc. Cabernet Sauvignon often dominates in the wines of the “Left bank” Bordeaux appellations of Médoc, Haut-Médoc, Pauillac, Saint Estephe, Saint Julien, Margaux, Graves and Pessac Leognan. The biggest Cabernet Sauvignon producing areas in the United States are the Napa and Central Coast regions in California. These areas are known for their ideal growing climates to ripen this grape to its fullest. Cabernet Sauvignon is generally a full-bodied and full-flavored wine that has typically black currant, plum and black raspberry fruit notes that may be accompanied by vanilla and other spice notes from oak barrel aging. Cabernet Sauvignon pairs very well with red meat dishes such as Filet Mignon and Lamb Chops. It is also a delightful partner with hard cheeses. |
Tuscany

Perhaps more than any other region in the world, Tuscany shows the inter-connectedness of culinary and winemaking traditions growing side by side. For any Italian meal there is no better match than a Tuscan Sangiovese, whether it is from Chianti, Scansano, or even the great Montalcino. When wine writers discuss terroir they usually look to Burgundy or Bordeaux for examples, but Tuscany may produce some of the most convincing displays of terroir in action. Why does a Merlot or Cabernet grown in Tuscany taste like no other Merlot or Cabernet in the world? It simply tastes Tuscan—there’s a meaty, mouthwateringly savory quality to Tuscan reds that cannot be replicated in any other viticultural area. For example, Tuscany’s most prestigious wine, Brunello di Montalcino, has this savory quality in spades. Meanwhile, some of the finest Super-Tuscans (made from international varieties such as Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah and others) from districts such as Bolgheri or Sant’Antimo may have more weight and heft than Sangiovese, but the Tuscan terroir provides a common link. There are refreshing whites made here, such as Vermentino or Vernacchia di San Gimignano, but make no mistake—this is red wine country. |
