Cabernet And Blends

Cabernet Sauvignon is grown in most of the world's wine regions, although it requires a long growing season to ripen properly and gives low yields. Many of the red wines regarded as among the world's greatest, such as Red Bordeaux, are predominantly made from Cabernet Sauvignon grapes. World-class examples can improve for decades and remain drinkable for a century. The particularly thick skin of the Cabernet Sauvignon grape results in wines that can be high in tannin which provides both structure and ageability. This varietal, while frequently aromatic and with an attractive finish, also tends to lack mid-palate richness and so is often blended with lower tannin, but fleshy tasting grapes, particularly Merlot and, especially in Australia, Shiraz. Cabernet Sauvignon wines are generally full-flavoured, with a stronger flavour than Merlot for instance, and with a smooth and lingering finish.
