There is something special about cabernet sauvignon and red wine lovers are always searching for the next great one.
A cabernet sauvignon is a full-bodied dry red wine with brave tannins. Tastes of cedar, new leather jacket, fresh sage, dried herbs, clove, oregano, black pepper, earth, and cigar leaves.
A big bold wine that pairs well with red meat, lamb, pork roast, venison, vegan chili, prime rib, and black-eyed peas with ham hocks.
There are many cabernet sauvignons on the market and the prices can climb up high. I’ve done the foot work to narrow the aisle on choosing a nice cab for around $30 per bottle.
Some cabs have other varietals in the bottle and the predominate grape will always be cabernet sauvignon. Research the cab online to find out if it’s a blend. I prefer 100% cabernet sauvignon or at least 95%, the other 5% is usually merlot or cab franc.
Cs Cabernet Sauvignon from Washington State’s Columbia Valley is a complex wine. With flavors of blackberry, cassis, and espresso.

Justin cabernet Sauvignon is made in Paso Robles, CA much like a Bordeaux-style wine. Grapes are hand-picked for consistent quality and flavor. Then spends fourteen months in oak barrels to impart depth and complexity. Highlighting the exceptional balance of textures, the unique climate and soils.
Luke Cabernet Sauvignon is a wine that offers aromas dominated by Marionberry and dark chocolate, hints of mint, and rich molasses. It’s a charming example of Wahluke Slope cabernet sauvignon. Luke is opulent and is impressive for the price.
Price matters when choosing a nice bottle of cabernet sauvignon. Purchase the best cab your budget can afford. Age is also important a few years aging makes a difference, and I prefer 2020 or older. They’re produced all over the world and no two bottles are the same.
