What does cabernet sauvignon taste like?

Cabernet sauvignon is a red grape known for full body, firm tannin and flavors of dark fruit such as blackcurrant and black cherry. Depending on where it is grown and how it is aged, you may also notice notes of cedar, tobacco, vanilla or green pepper.

Tannin is the drying, grippy feeling on your gums after a sip. Cabernet usually has plenty of it, which is why it tends to suit food with some richness and fat.

Wines from warmer regions, such as much of California, tend to taste riper and fruitier. Cooler climates tend to give a leaner, more savory style.

How do I choose a cabernet for dinner or a gathering?

Start with what is on the table. Cabernet is a classic match for grilled steak, burgers, lamb and hard aged cheeses, because the tannin softens against fat and char. For roasted vegetables or mushroom dishes, it can work too, though a lighter red may suit better.

If you are serving a crowd, think about how many people prefer a softer wine. A cabernet with ripe fruit is usually easier for a mixed group than one with very firm tannin.

If you are not sure, ask. The team can talk you through the options, and our post on which Westford liquor store helps with wine choices explains how we go about it.

How should I serve and store cabernet sauvignon?

Serve it a little below room temperature, around 60 to 65 degrees Fahrenheit. A red that is too warm tastes alcoholic and flat. If your kitchen is warm, 15 minutes in the fridge before pouring helps.

A young, tannic cabernet often improves with air. Open it 30 minutes to an hour ahead, or pour it into a decanter or large glass.

Keep unopened bottles somewhere cool, dark and steady, lying down if the bottle has a cork. Once opened, recork it and finish it within a few days for the best flavor.

What other red wines are close to cabernet?

If you like cabernet, a few neighbors are worth trying. Merlot is usually softer and rounder. Malbec is plush and dark-fruited. Syrah leans peppery and bold. A red blend often mixes cabernet with other grapes for a balanced bottle.

For something lighter, Pinot Noir is the usual step down in body. For a French take, see French red, where cabernet often appears in blends.
