Cabernet Sauvignon
You
can send it back 2000 Cabernet Sauvignon
The cabernet sauvignon displayed an incredibly deep ruby red colour and
emitted a rich, refreshing black currant and blueberry nose.

Beaulieu Vineyard, Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley 2001 ($17) - Garnet

Pi#241;a
Cabernet Sauvignon (Howell Mountain) 2001
Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon before (9/05 and 6/05), but it just
keeps getting better.
Leg
of lamb, baked with eggplant and mint
To enhance the rich and minty lamb, match with a soft, red, mature
Cabernet Sauvignon.
The
natural progression of organic wines
In reds, Kronfeld recommends wines from Nevada County Wine Guild and
its "Our Daily Red," ($9.99), a blend of syrah, carignan and cabernet
sauvignon. Tagarello recommends the 2005 Mas de Gourgonnier Rosé
($12.99) from the Les Baux de Provence appellation in Provence, a
rosé made mostly from grenache with small amounts of syrah,
mourvedre, cinsault and cabernet sauvignon.
Scrubby
Rise - Shiraz Cabernet Sauvignon Petit Verdot 2004
Located directly in front of Wirra Wirra's century old ironstone
cellars, the Scrubby Rise vineyard and its marvelous soils produce some
of our best Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon from season to season.

Quilceda
Creek Cabernet Sauvignons Win Approval From Parker
They produce approximately 3,400 cases of Cabernet Sauvignon each year
which always sell out quickly. You might want to get on their mailing
list, in 2007 the winery will offer mailing list customers its first
Galitzine Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon from the winery's estate vineyard
on Red Mountain.
Napa
Valley Meritage and Bordeaux-style reds
Meritage is a marketing term created in 1988 to identify Bordeaux-style
blends -- in red wines, those made from Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot,
Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot and Malbec made outside of France's
Bordeaux region. TWO AND A HALF STARS 2002 Beaulieu Vineyard Reserve
Tapestry Napa Valley Red Wine ($50) Give this Cabernet
Sauvignon-dominant wine another year or more in the bottle, because
it's quite tannic now.
A
Good US Cabernet Is Hard to Find
Reasonably priced American Cabernet Sauvignon really was good once,
wasn't it?

Whitehall
Lane Winery Selects Alcoa Vino-Seal(TM) Glass Closures ...
The innovative sealing system was used to top 45,000 bottles of
Whitehall Lane premium 2003 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon and 3,000
bottles of its premium 2003 Leonardini Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon.
Sylvester and Alcoa will continue to evaluate the aging of the 2003

WTN:
Shinn Estate Vineyards "Red" ($14)
Shinn Estate Vineyard's non-vintage Red ($14) is a blend of 75% merlot
and 25% cabernet sauvignon, isn't the most complex local merlot.
The Sad Plight of
Cabernet Franc
It produces interesting, distinctive wines in places besides Bordeaux;
one of Napa Valley's most coveted wines, the Dalla Valle Maya, is a
roughly equal blend of cabernet franc and cabernet sauvignon. Cabernet
franc is not, of course, a noble grape, a la cabernet sauvignon
(although it did, with the otherwise undistinguished sauvignon blanc,
help sire the latter).

We also got to sample Doug's Cabernet Sauvignon, which is being barrel
aged and won't be ready to bottle for about a year.

Winemakers
hole Paris taste test rematch
But not only was Stags Leaps 1973 cabernet sauvignon the top red,
another California winery, Chateau Montelena, scored top white with a
1973 chardonnay. Spurrier staged a re-tasting for the 1986 anniversary
in New York and California wines again took top places, although this
time the No. 1 red was a Clos du Val 1972 cabernet sauvignon.
Thorn
Clarke Shotfire Ridge Quartage 2004
A blend of Cabernet sauvignon, Cabernet franc, Merlot, Malbec and Petit
Verdot.

Chateau Davril, Bordeaux
I would rather drink this red blend of non-cru merlot, cabernet
sauvignon, and cabernet franc out of two stryofoam cups.
