Cabernet Sauvignon

Cabernet Sauvignon is one of the world''s most famous red grape varieties, created from Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon Blanc. It is known for small berries, deep colour, firm tannins, fresh acidity and distinctive aromas of blackcurrant, cedar, mint and spice.

The grape is central to Bordeaux blends and has become a benchmark variety in Napa Valley, Chile, Australia, South Africa, Tuscany and many other regions. It can produce powerful, age-worthy wines as well as polished, fruit-forward reds.

What does Cabernet Sauvignon taste like?

Cabernet Sauvignon typically shows cassis, blackberry, black cherry, graphite, cedar, tobacco, mint, bell pepper and dark chocolate. The tannins are firm, the body is often full, and the acidity gives structure and ageing potential.

Oak ageing is common and can add vanilla, toast, clove or coffee notes. Cooler-climate examples may taste more herbal and savoury, while warmer regions bring riper black fruit and a broader texture.

Where does Cabernet Sauvignon come from?

Cabernet Sauvignon originated in Bordeaux and remains essential there, especially on the Left Bank where it is commonly blended with Merlot, Cabernet Franc and other permitted grapes.

It is now grown across the wine world. Napa Valley, Coonawarra and Margaret River, Maipo, Stellenbosch, Bolgheri and many other regions have built strong reputations around Cabernet Sauvignon or Cabernet-led blends.

Which styles of Cabernet Sauvignon are there?

The classic Cabernet Sauvignon style is dry, structured and deeply coloured, with black fruit, firm tannins and oak influence. These wines can be made for long ageing, especially when fruit concentration and tannin quality are high.

There are also softer, earlier-drinking Cabernet styles with ripe fruit and smoother tannins, as well as Bordeaux-style blends where Cabernet brings backbone and cassis character. Rosé exists, but serious dry reds define the variety.


What food pairs with Cabernet Sauvignon?

Cabernet Sauvignon is a natural partner for steak, roast beef, lamb, venison, burgers, grilled mushrooms, hard cheeses and dishes with rosemary, pepper or smoky flavours.

Its tannins need protein and richness, which soften the wine and highlight the fruit. Mature Cabernet also works well with braised beef, aged cheddar, truffle dishes and slow-cooked winter meals.
