Cabernet Sauvignon is best known as the most important red grape variety in Bordeaux, the region that produces the world's most generally admired red wines. It has also been widely exported and now flourishes in countries as diverse as Italy, Spain, Bulgaria, the USA and Austraha.
Cabernet Sauvignon produces wines of markedly individual character: generally deep in colour, aromatic with a scent of blackcurrants, firmly structured on the palate. These wines can be tough when young, but tend to have excellent ageing potential, and the greatest Cabernet Sauvignons acquire a fascinating complexity of aroma and flavour as they mature. This volume not only looks at wines suitable for early drinking but includes advice on the potential of both the top Bordeaux Châteaux traditionally favoured by investors and the many excellent Cabernet Sauvignons now being made beyond the borders of France.
