Cabernet Sauvignon

Country: US / Godspeed Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon California Winery: Sbragia / Mount Veeder This is a full-bodied, fully hedonistic and feral wine, integrated in oak and tannin, that show a robust density on the palate of blackberry, wild sage and earth. With its robust ripeness and concentration, it features a brightness of acidity that helps […]

Country: US / Le Roi Soleil Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon California Winery: Y Rousseau / Mount Veeder The addition of 5% Merlot softens this wine, a lovely representation of the wild mountain appellation from a vineyard 2,000-feet up. Juicy and layered, the wine shows restraint and elegance amidst a woodsy forest component of lean, tart fruit […]

Country: US / Sycamore Vineyard Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon California Winery: Freemark Abbey / Rutherford A classically styled, beautifully made red, this is defined by its well-chiseled structure and sanguine characteristics, as well as notes of cranberry, dried herb and anise. Lush and full-bodied, it has additional elements of pencil shavings and meaty game, complex and […]

Country: US / Jean Louis Vermeil Frediani Vineyard Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon California Winery: Vermeil / Calistoga There’s no disrespect to say this Cabernet is fun to drink. It is, for the soft, charmingly interesting mouthfeel and rich, sweetly forward blackberry, cherry, chocolate, cassis, anise and oak flavors. Few Cabernets in the world get this ripe […]

Country: Italy / Tenuta Regaleali Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon Sicily & Sardinia Winery: Tasca d’Almerita / Sicilia The Tasca family shows a deft hand with Cabernet Sauvignon, and has worked hard to match this international variety to the unique Sicilian territory. This beautiful vintage opens with nicely ripened dark fruit, cola, root beer, cured meat and […]

Country: US / Reserve Tapteil Vineyard Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon Washington Winery: Barrister / Red Mountain Sourced entirely from old vine Tapteil fruit, this spent 32 months in French and American oak. It’s loaded—as per usual with this winery—with generous, dark and smoky flavors of espresso, smoke and charcoal. But the fruit has the power and […]

Country: US / Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon California Winery: Owl Ridge / Alexander Valley Almost black in color, this wine shows persistent oak and green notes, accented with cedar, graphite and dust. The tannins are dry and woody, contributing to its food-friendliness.

Country: Chile / Gran Reserva Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon Curicó Valley Winery: Don Tony Perez / Pastry notes blend with ripe berry aromas and hints of vanilla and raisin. This is rubbery and tannic in feel, with flavors of cherry, plum, cassis and herbal spice. On the finish, an herbal flavor note is typical of Chilean […]

Country: US / Estate grown Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon California Winery: LangeTwins / Lodi Like liquid toasted cinnamon, this Cabernet Sauvignon is texturally harsh.

Country: US / Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon California Winery: Manifesto! / North Coast Pungent notes of cranberry and pruny oak mark this wine, with tannins that are a bit tough and slightly out of balance.

Country: Argentina / Remolinos Vineyard Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon Mendoza Province Winery: Finca Decero / Agrelo Aromas of asphalt and grilled steak accent berry and cassis scents. This hits hard on the palate, with no mercy to the tannins. Flavors of cherry and cassis come with notes of desert sage and chocolate. Drilling tannins last through […]

Country: US / Estate Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon California Winery: Pomar Junction / Paso Robles Minerals and earth lift the nose of this wine, with iron ore, rust and jet black soils alongside a touch of boysenberry fruit. The palate is sanguine as well, reflecting red volcanic dirts, with fruit trending toward violet and cranberry.
