Cabernet Sauvignon
Cabernet Sauvignons are arguably some of the finest red wines in the world and are widely accepted as one of the world's best varieties. They are usually aged in oak barrels for a year or more and then aged for several more years. Some of the greatest Cabernet Sauvignons are aged for more than 15 years.The classic flavor of Cabernet Sauvignon is one of dark fruits, primarily black currant. The best are full-bodied, intense and firm. Cabernet Sauvignons typically have a spicy aroma that hints of cedar.
Cabernet Sauvignon grapes grow well in most climates but the absolute best come from the Medoc region in France and California's Napa Valley. Cabernet Sauvignon is often blended with Cabernet Franc and Merlot.
