Cabernet Sauvignon grape in Napa Valley
We find the Cabernet Sauvignon widely planted in the United States, especially in Napa Valley and Sonoma in California and Washington state
The character of the grape generally consists of black currant dark fruit, notes of cedar or a cigar box scent that gets stronger as the wine ages.
The wine usually matures in wooden barrels and has tannins. The Cabernet Sauvignon has the potential to store for a long time, but modern vinification techniques can also be used young.
The Phenols in the skins give the color to the wine during vinification, the Cabernet Sauvignon contains a lot of Phenols and the color is usually dark.
