Cabernet Sauvignon rugged, high-quality

A quality grape that grows in many places

Cabernet Sauvignon in St. Helena, CA
Cabernet Sauvignon is one of the world’s most successful varieties of grape. The grapes are small and thick-skinned, so the tannins and other flavors that come from grapeskin are found abundantly in this wine. They also help give the grape the ability to survive all sorts of environments, which has made the Cab globally successful — they’re as hardy as Mission grapes and produce much better wine. No matter what the climate or soil, Cab grapes can be relied on for a complex and balanced vintage.

Cabernet Sauvignon goes with everything, ages well

Cabernet Sauvignon a famous California wine

Cabernet Sauvignon in St. Helena, CA
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.

Cabernet Sauvignon, perfect for barbecues

BBQ and Cab

Cabernet Sauvignon in St. Helena, CA
With summer coming to an end, there’s still time for a last few barbecues. The perfect wine to serve at a barbecue is a Cabernet Sauvignon. A world-famous red wine with notes of blackcurrant and tannins that stand out, the Cabernet Sauvignon goes well with wild fowl, honey-roasted carrots and such fine dishes as aged cheeses. Best of all, it’s perfect for serving with grilled red meat — especially lamb or well-marbled beef. Try serving the wine at 14 to 16 degrees centigrade to get the full flavor.

Some wine clubs give you the chance to collect a whole series of Cabernet Sauvignons, from Napa Valley or around the world. Like all wine, it should be stored in a place with steady temperature and humidity, less than 60 degrees Fahrenheit and humid enough that the cork doesn’t dry out. If you’re serving it on a hot day, let it chill for a few minutes first.

A Signature Cabernet Sauvignon

Cabernet Sauvignon - St. Helena CA
Get into a wine club
For a long time, Cabernet Sauvignon was the most widely planted premium red wine grape in the world. It can survive in many climates without sacrificing quality. In 1976, a hundred years after coming to California, the California Cabernet truly came into its own when an American Cab was preferred over French Bordeaux wines in the famous “Judgment of Paris” taste test in France. In the ‘80s, the vines were grafted onto American rootstock, which led to a stronger wine. This wine is worth joining a wine club to get a deal on.
