Cabernet Sauvignon a famous California
wine
All
through Napa Valley, the grapes are being harvested for the Cabernet Sauvignons
of years to come. Cabernet Sauvignon usually matures nine to eighteen months in
French, American or Hungarian oak. The Cab grape is famous for holding its quality
through any weather, lasting a long time in the barrel and interacting with the
oak to bring out the flavors of cassis, black cherry and blackberry, and often
hints of tobacco, vanilla and violets. With a California Cab, the better the
meal, the better the wine goes with it. Pair it with something that has a rich
and hearty flavor of its own. Venison, lamb and rich beef go well with it. Try
serving the wine at 57 to 60 degrees to get the full flavor. Some of the most
famous Cabs come from many different rootstocks and vineyards to achieve just
the right balance. Many wine clubs offer collections of Cabs.
