CABERNET
SAUVIGNON
(kab-er-nay
soh-VIN-yohn)
Grown: Across
Pennsylvania, but especially
in the SouthEast
For most of the 20th century,
Cabernet Sauvignon was the world's
most planted red wine grape (Merlot
stole its crown in the 1990s). How's
this for a comeback story: By 2015,
Cab was yet again on top.
Long subject to theories and legends
about its origins, DNA testing done in
1996 at University of California Davis
determined, definitively, that the grape
is the offspring of Cabernet Franc and
Sauvignon Blanc - most likely the
result of a serendipitous crossing in
17th century France. It's a viticulture
meet-cute.
Cabernet Sauvignon grapes have thick
skins and the vines are hardy, though the
plant prefers warm, dry temperatures
when it comes to ripening. This is
often the last block in the vineyard to
bud and mature (typically one to two
weeks after Merlot and Cab Franc).
Winemakers who grow this varietal
spend September praying for sunny skies.
Classic Cabernet Sauvignon is fullbodied,
with high tannins, jammy
red-fruit flavors, and great potential
for aging. Cooler climate wines - like
those made in Pennsylvania - often
showcase notes of black currant, green
bell pepper, mint, and cedar.
Cabernet is an exciting canvas for
winemakers. First, it is a classic player
in blends, notably those inspired by
the iconic reds of Bordeaux (typically
a mix of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot,
Cabernet Franc, Malbec, Petit
Verdot). Then there is the fact that
the grape thrives in oak, either during
fermentation or barrel-aging. The wood
softens powerful tannins and imparts
notes of vanilla, spice, and tobacco.
When it comes to pairing, this is a
bold wine that can stand up to rich,
earthy flavors - there's a reason why
it's the classic steakhouse choice.
Serve it with your favorite cut of beef
(au poivre if you're feeling daring) or
pasta with mushroom cream sauce.
Bitter foods such as endive salad
or charred radicchio are also a fun
option - that note will help neutralize
the rustic tannins. This philosophy
also applies to dark chocolate; think
dessert or a Mexican mole poblano.
Beyond specific foods, method
matters: Play off the oak-driven notes
by deploying your grill, smoker, or
cedar plank.
