Cabernet Sauvignon

Country: US / Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon Oregon Winery: Pheasant Valley Winery / Columbia Valley (OR) This tastes like a warm climate, soft, round Cabernet, full-bodied and etched in dark, smoky tannins. The alcohol reaches 14.8% but does not burn; the fruit is a mix of figs and plums and ripe black cherries. Already four years […]

Country: US / Split Oak Vineyard Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon California Winery: Morro Bay / California A little raw in acidity, with some green olive notes, but the rustic nature works in favor of the wine, grounding its rich blackberry, currant and chocolate flavors with earthiness. Tasted in a flight of much more expensive wines, this […]

Country: US / Estate Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon California Winery: Buehler / Napa Valley This 100% Cabernet Sauvignon is brooding in dried sage, cedar and pencil shavings, the fruit black and ripe. Oaky and sanguine, it has a girth to it. Sprinkles of cinnamon and clove peak on the finish.

Country: US / Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon California Winery: Silver Stag / Napa Valley Damp earth, tar and gamy bacon combine aromatically and flavor-wise in this Cabernet, which also contains smaller traces of Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc.

Country: Chile / Classic Collection Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon Curicó Valley Winery: Echeverria / Raspberry and plum aromas are simple.

Country: US / Klipsun Vineyard Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon Washington Winery: Seven Hills / Red Mountain Coffee, herb, cherry, cocoa and barrel-spice aromas draw you into the glass.

Country: US / Andolsen Vineyard Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon California Winery: Sbragia / Dry Creek Valley Splashes of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot make their way into this vineyard-designate, a well-made offering of cola and blackberry with supple tannins.

Country: US / Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon California Winery: Ancient Peaks / Paso Robles Coming from a vineyard first planted by Mondavi in the late 1990s, this well-priced and widely available wine shows blackberry, violets, black pepper and just snapped dark chocolate on the nose.
