A recent Forbes article highlights the fact that the cabernet sauvignon grape, which originates from the French region of Bordeaux, is the most planted variety of grape in the world, with vines growing on 840,000 acres around the globe. The guide from Wine Download helps you understand the reasons why this varietal remains so popular. “With its bold flavors, complex notes, and age-worthy characteristics, cabernet sauvignon has something for everyone - from novice drinkers to seasoned connoisseurs,” explains a spokesperson from the organization. “This wine continues to be one of the most sought-after varieties due to its intense flavor profile and famous ability to age gracefully.”
Starting with an outline of the grape’s history and geographic distribution, the guide moves on to a taste profile for cabernet sauvignon, including a discussion of tannins, layers of complexity, aroma, and the predominant cabernet fruit flavors of black cherry, blackcurrant, and blackberry.
