Wine Grapes 101: CABERNET SAUVIGNON

Cabernet Sauvignon is a grape variety capable of producing long lasting wines, is grown in almost every high-quality red wine making region and is almost single handedly responsible for some of the world’s most expensive wines. In this video I will talk about Cabernet Sauvignon’s origins and parentage, its flavor profiles, why it is blended with merlot, cabernet franc and other grape varieties, where it is grown (including Bordeaux, Napa, Tuscany, Australia, Chile), winemaking, as well as food pairings.

Your videos are amazing! Very well done. Can’t believe you don’t have more views and subscribers. Keep up the great work. Only a matter of time. And thank you for all the great information.

I am loving your channel, thanks. Makes sense to start with the greatest hits, like cab, and I appreciate the global overview as well as pairing recommendations. Would love for you to elaborate a bit on some of the niche varietals more. You touched on petit Verdot, but it might be worth a full video for us to understand why grapes like that don’t get their own wines.

Loving how you say variety. Loving all the rest.

Interesting tip for Italy. Cab production doesn't stop in Tuscany, although it is its most important winemaking region. Do seek out Cabernet Sauvignon from Trentino and Alto Adige, as they can be a great mixture between a cool country and a warm country style. Great examples are the Lafoa from Colterenzio, the COR from Alois Lageder, Freienfeld riserva from Kurtatsch (my personal favourite), Kunst.Stück from Kaltern. I'd like to hear your opinion on those!

Very nice and interesting presentation, thank you! Am I wrong that Grange is amlost 100% Syrah? I think bin 707 is a flagship of Australian CS.

Great video - I'll be down in Margaret River in two weeks time to sample some of the delights :) Highly recommend Voyager Estate to any people looking to visit the Margaret River region.
