Cabernet Sauvignon great for celebrations

Cabernet Sauvignon in St. Helena, CA
Cabernet Sauvignon a famous California wine

The California Cabernet Sauvignon is a wine fit to be served with a celebratory meal. Cabs are blessed with an aroma and palate rich with cassis (blackcurrant), black cherry and blackberry, and often hints of black pepper, licorice and violets. They’re often paired with red meat, such as venison, lamb or rich beef. Try serving the wine at 57 to 60 degrees Fahrenheit to get the full flavor, and cut back on the seasonings with the meat. A Cab also goes well with wild fowl, aged cheeses or truffles.

Cabernet Sauvignon usually matures nine to eighteen months. Some of the most famous Cabs come from many rootstocks and vineyards, combined for the perfect balance. The Cabernet Sauvignon grape has long been prized for its ability to survive in a variety of climates without sacrificing quality. In 1976, a California Cab was preferred over French Bordeaux wines in the famous “Judgment of Paris” blind taste test in France. Join a wine club to learn more about the Cab.
