Cabernet Sauvignon has become one of the most widely planted varieties in the world. While it made its reputation on Bordeaux’s Left Bank, it is the primary variety in many world class wines made in the New World. Typically Cabernet Sauvignon produces highly structured wines with primary aromas of blackcurrant and deep red fruit. Over time, the wines develop terrifically complex secondary aromas of cigarbox and cedarwood. While Cabernet Sauvighon has proved itself adaptable to a wide range of soils in California, the best examples come from well-drained, low yield, hillside vineyards in the Napa Valley.
