Discover the grape variety: Cabernet-Sauvignon

Structured, tannic reds, deeply coloured, with aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry, cedar, tobacco and graphite, underpinned by firm acidity and fine ageing potential. Cornerstone of the great Médoc estates (Pauillac, Saint-Estèphe, Saint-Julien) and signature of Napa Valley, Coonawarra and Maipo. The world's most planted red variety, a natural cross of Cabernet Franc x Sauvignon Blanc born in Bordeaux.

The wine region of Carmel Valley

Monterey AVA 16 km from the ocean: dominant Bordeaux varieties — Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot (>70%) in rich, full-bodied reds. Well-drained gravelly terraces, hot days and cool nights ideal for Bordeaux grapes. Cachagua Valley above the fog exposes to warmer climate, marked thermal swings and progressive ripening generating fruit and tannic complexity. Bordeaux identity of the central coast.


The wine region of California

Powerful, sunny reds: dense Napa Cabernet Sauvignon (blackcurrant, chocolate, tobacco, ample tannins), spicy, jammy Zinfandel from the Sierra Foothills, silky red-fruited Pinot Noir on the cool coast (Sonoma, Russian River, Central Coast). Opulent, buttery Chardonnay, notes of yellow fruit and vanilla. Varied climate, from the hot interior to the Pacific-cooled coast. 80% of US production, 139 AVAs including Napa (1st AVA, 1981).

The word of the wine: Ample

Said of a generous wine with a rich body that gives an impression of fullness in the mouth.
