Cabernet Sauvignon is a red wine grape variety that originated in France and gained international recognition through its prominence in Bordeaux wines. It is now planted in nearly every major wine producing country in the world, and is one of the most popular red wine grapes.
Cabernet Sauvignon grapes are small and dark blue in color, with thick skins. The grapes are high in tannins, which give Cabernet Sauvignon wines their characteristic structure and aging potential. Cabernet Sauvignon wines are also typically high in alcohol, with aromas and flavors of black currant, blackberry, cedar, and tobacco.
Cabernet Sauvignon can be produced in a variety of styles, from light and fruity to full-bodied and bold. The style of the wine will vary depending on the climate where the grapes are grown, the winemaking techniques used, and the age of the wine.
Some of the most famous Cabernet Sauvignon wines in the world include:
- Bordeaux wines from France, such as Château Lafite Rothschild and Château Margaux
- Napa Valley wines from California, such as Screaming Eagle and Opus One
- Cabernet Sauvignon wines from Australia, such as Penfolds Grange and Henschke Hill of Grace
Cabernet Sauvignon is a versatile grape that can be enjoyed on its own or paired with a variety of foods. It is a good choice for grilled meats, roasted vegetables, and hearty stews. Cabernet Sauvignon can also be aged for many years, developing more complex flavors and aromas with age.
Here are some tips for pairing Cabernet Sauvignon with food:
- Choose dishes with bold flavors that can stand up to the tannins in Cabernet Sauvignon.
- Avoid dishes that are too spicy or too acidic, as these can clash with the wine.
- Try pairing Cabernet Sauvignon with grilled meats, roasted vegetables, and hearty stews.
- Cabernet Sauvignon can also be paired with chocolate desserts.
Enjoy!
Note: The plant is shipped in its pot, firmly secured with several layers of clear tape, thereby avoiding any shuffling and moving during transit. The plant reaches you with minimal damage- very safe and secure. We have been shipping plants like this for several years (plant are sometimes shipped in smaller pots for safety and ease of shipping). Most plants go dormant in fall and winter and will lose most of their leaves - looking dead and dry - very normal. They will flush out in spring.
We cannot send ship some plants and some sizes to California due to restrictions placed by department of agriculture.
