Cabernet Sauvignon

14049 visitors

California is, after Bordeaux, the worldâ€™s largest grower of Cabernet Sauvignon, most notably in the Napa Valley and warmer AVAs of Sonoma County. In California the area of Cabernet Sauvignon planting doubled in the 1990s, precipitously lowering prices and disrupting the health of the wine industry. As in Bordeaux, it is often blended with Merlot and Cabernet Franc to produce world-class wines. More commercial versions may be blended with Ruby Cabernet or other varietals that provide more structure and richness than Cabernet Sauvignon can provide. The grape has also found a home in Washington, though it requires the warmest vineyards such at the Red Mountain AVA in the lower Yakima Valley for it to ripen fully.

Food Pairing: Pairs well with venison, game poultry, lamb, portabella mushrooms and any grilled meats. After dinner pour with dark and bitter chocolate, or cheddar and huntsman cheeses.
