Exploring the World of Cabernet Wine with Austern & Paul

A Brief History of Cabernet Sauvignon

Cabernet Sauvignon is one of the most popular and widely recognized wine grape varieties in the world. Its origins date back to the 17th century, when it was first cultivated in Bordeaux, France. The grape quickly gained popularity due to its thick skin, which made it resistant to disease and pests, allowing for mass production.

As a result of its widespread cultivation, Cabernet Sauvignon became an integral part of many wine blends, particularly in the Bordeaux region. However, it wasn't until the 20th century that it gained recognition as a standalone varietal.

The Characteristics of Cabernet Sauvignon

Cabernet Sauvignon is known for its bold flavors and tannins. The wine typically exhibits dark fruit notes, such as blackberry and black cherry, along with subtle hints of spice, tobacco, and leather.

The grape's thick skin also allows it to produce wines with high acidity levels, which contribute to its overall structure and aging potential.
