Cabernet Sauvignon
Top countries producing this wine: |
Cabernet Sauvignon, or more commonly referred to as “Cab”, is a grape varietal derived from a crossing of Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon Blanc. There is some speculation as to where the birth of this grape varietal originally began, but it is believed to have originally taken root in the Bordeaux region. This resilient and widely planted grape boasts the title of “King Grape” of the red wine grape varieties. It can be found in virtually every wine region, particularly California and the aforementioned Bordeaux. Cabs are typically medium to full-bodied and can range from easy drinking with fresh fruit to intense fruit with heavy tannin. The main flavor markers for this grape are black currant and dark fruits such as blackberry or plum. Oak aging contributes flavors of vanilla, spice, smoke and pepper. More complex Cabs can also offer subtle flavors of chocolate, tobacco, earth, and coffee. |

Spain has 2.9 million acres of vineyards and is the most widely-planted wine-producing nation. There are 400 varieties of grapes with 80% of production originating from 20 grape varieties including Tempranillo, Albarino, Garnacha, Mencia, Palomino, Macabeo, Xarel-lo, and Monastrell. Some of the major wine regions include Rioja, Ribera del Duero, Toro, Jerez, and Priorat. Under Roman rule, Spanish wine was sold throughout the Roman Empire and wine production continued during the rule of the Moors. Following the Spanish Reconquesta, exportation of Spanish wines continued with Spanish missionaries and conquistadors bringing European vine stock to the New World. In the late 19th century, the sparkling wine industry (Cava) began and by the 20th century, Cava production rivaled that of Champagne. Civil and political upheaval and two world wars adversely affected the Spanish wine industry, but the 1950’s brought with it a revival. In the 21st century, Spain is now considered a serious wine-producing country and home to many extraordinary values. Famous Brands to look for include Vega Sicilia, Pesquera, Clos Mogador, Clos Erasmus, Segura Viudas, Muga and Castano. |
