DAOU Vineyards stands alone at an elevation of 2,200 feet, the mountain mostly contains calcareous clay soil, which yield high quality fruit that is carefully hand picked. This leads to elegant and memorable wines.\u00a0Here, the calcareous clay soil is comparable to Bordeaux’s Right Bank, while the buffered Pacific microclimate is similar to Saint Helena – a perfect confluence of elements. DAOU Mountain is blessed with extraordinary phenolic output, yielding some of the darkest, most deeply textured wines in the world. These wines are never acidified, as the ideal level of acidity comes naturally.<\/p>\n

It is the most widely grown red wine grape variety in the world, and its wines were recently ranked as the most searched and sought-after in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It can form a full-bodied, complex, fruit-forward and dry wine when vinified correctly. The Cabernet Sauvignon grape has received most of its notoriety from being grown in the Bordeaux region of France<\/strong><\/a>. Traditionally speaking, these wines taste of heavy red and black fruit backed by noticeable tannins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n IN THIS GUIDE:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The climate Cabernet Sauvignon is grown in has been known to substantially affect its taste. Cooler climate Cabernet will tend to yield a more dark-fruit-forward wine with evidence of acidity. While warmer climates tend to yield more evidence of rich red fruit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Classic fruit notes are deep and dark: blackberry, black cherry, plum, cassis, and raisins. Earth and mineral notes can vary depending on terroir and vinification methods but classic notes include cedar, bell pepper, cracked spice, wood smoke, oak, tobacco, black olive, mushroom, mint, and wet gravel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Because of its complexity and high tannin structure, Cabernet Sauvignon is a great choice with any poultry or meat dish. The rugged spiciness of the wine combined with its dark fruit and earth will easily balance out grilled poultry, grilled pork, filet mignon, rack of lamb, or braised pork ribs perfectly. For vegetarian dishes, it works well with spiced mushroom, eggplant, or quinoa-based dishes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For cheese pairings, Cabernet Sauvignon works best with medium to sharp cheeses, like aged cheddar, apple-smoked gouda, asiago, gruyere, goat cheese, stilton, or bleu cheese.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Cabernet Sauvignon is a choice grape variety for wine drinkers and vintners alike because of its taste profile and ease to produce. The vines are incredibly hardy and can grow in an array of climates and terroirs. They produce grapes with thick skins which are highly resistant to damaging weather like frost and hail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Yields are often high, which can be a huge positive for winemakers considering that Cabernet is one of the most in-demand red wines around the world. On the other hand, controlling yields is also important for more boutique, craft wineries who are looking for a more refined product. This requires further investment in labor costs and a choice selection in terroir.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ironically, if you were to look at it on a timescale starting when humans first tried wine, Cabernet Sauvignon hasn\u2019t been around that long. It was stumbled upon during the 17th century in Southwestern France<\/strong><\/a>, where Sauvignon Blanc<\/strong><\/a> and Cabernet Franc<\/strong><\/a> were crossed to form a new grape variety. (This was recently discovered in 1996 where DNA testing was done at the <\/em>UC Davis Department of Viticulture and Enology<\/em><\/a>).<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Beyond Bordeaux, there are a plethora of quality Cabernet growing areas. Venture into regions like the Loire Valley, Lebanon\u2019s Beqaa Valley<\/a><\/strong>, Tuscany<\/strong><\/a>, and Navarra in Spain to truly expand your palate and see this grape\u2019s potential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n While centuries of wine production in Bordeaux helped launch Cabernet to fame over time, other regions like Napa Valley<\/strong><\/a> have helped bring it to the forefront of the new world as a single-varietal red wine. Many Bordeaux winemakers are known for blending Cabernet Sauvignon with other varieties, such as Merlot and Cabernet Franc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n With wine production is expanding globally at a record pace, wine enthusiasts should begin to look towards other old world and new world wine-producing regions to sample new takes on Cabernet Sauvignon. In North America, Washington State<\/a><\/strong> is growing gorgeous examples of Cabernet in AVAs including Yakima, Walla Walla<\/a><\/strong>, Red Mountain, Horse Heaven Hills and the Columbia Valley. California wine lovers undoubtedly should continue to keep an eye on Sonoma County\u2019s wines<\/strong><\/a>. Paso Robles<\/strong><\/a>, and Lake County<\/a><\/strong>. The Santa Cruz Mountains<\/strong><\/a> are also crafting some delicious examples.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A variety of New World countries and regions produce fantastic Cabernet. From New Zealand\u2019s Hawke\u2019s Bay region to Australia\u2019s McLaren Valley, all the way to regions across Chile<\/strong><\/a> and even Stellenbosch in South Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Cabernet Sauvignon produces some of the most age-worthy wines in the world. Cab loves oak \u2013 it\u2019s such a bold wine that it\u2019s almost impossible for oak to be intrusive. Instead, oak can really work wonders to round out the rough edges of young Cabernet Sauvignon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n French, American, and Hungarian oak all work well with Cab and it\u2019s rare that oak isn\u2019t used. High-end Bordeaux and high-end Napa Cabs can age for decades, and even less expensive Cabernets can age for a bit. While we don\u2019t necessarily recommend hanging on to an inexpensive wine for years \u2013 they are, after all, meant to be drunk young \u2013 with Cab, it could be a fun experiment just to see what happens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Written By Jamie Metzgar<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Jamie Elizabeth Metzgar began her career in wine by pouring in a tasting room on the East End of Long Island, NY. After moving to New York City, she landed a position at Chambers Street Wines where she was encouraged to pursue wine education at the Wine & Spirits Education Trust (WSET). She earned Level III certification there and has since earned California Wine Appellation Specialist and Certified Specialist of Wine certifications as well. After way too many moves, she has recently landed in Northern California where she is compiling an unofficial roster of dog-friendly tasting rooms.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Editor\u2019s Note:<\/strong> Winetraveler is a reader-supported publication and this article may contain affiliate links.

Light and refreshing, it\u2019s unique in that its flavor sets it apart from most other white grape varieties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sauvignon Blanc is famously used as part of the blend for making the sweet dessert wine in Bordeaux, called Sauternes<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n IN THIS GUIDE:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Although the climate and terroir for Sauvignon Blanc grown throughout the world can have a huge impact on flavor, there are some general commonalities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sauvignon Blanc tasting notes are most commonly associated with tropical, tree, and citrus fruit. Specifically, flavor nuances of dates, papaya, melon, and notes of herbs or dry underbrush are most present when the wine comes from a cooler climate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If exposed to oak, you may notice bits of English pudding, custard, and vanilla. While it\u2019s probably most well known for being the preferred white wine grape variety in the Bordeaux region of France<\/a><\/strong> and the Loire Valley<\/a><\/strong> \u2013 New World wine-growing regions such as Napa Valley<\/strong><\/a>, Sonoma County<\/strong><\/a>, and Marlborough New Zealand<\/a><\/strong> are producing incredible Sauvignon Blanc as well. Classic fruit notes include melon, lemon-lime, white peach, grapefruit, orange, and papaya with notes of grass, geranium, green pepper, spice, and smoke.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n Often characterized by its lively acidity and vibrant flavors, Sauvignon Blanc is indeed considered a dry wine. That means it typically has little to no residual sugar, leaving your palate refreshed and craving more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As you sip on a glass of Sauvignon Blanc, in addition to the tasting notes we mentioned above, you'll likely be greeted by flavors of citrus, gooseberry, and sometimes even grassy or herbal notes. It's these crisp, tantalizing characteristics that make Sauvignon Blanc a go-to choice for many when seeking a wine that pairs beautifully with light dishes, seafood, warm afternoons, and good company. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Speaking of pairings...<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sauvignon Blanc variety pairs incredibly well with sushi. The light, crisply refreshing tropical fruits, and subtle herbs play well with fish crafted with similar toppings and sauces. Your fish doesn't need to be raw, though. We recently had a beautiful New World Sauvignon Blanc with crisp oysters drizzled with spicy aioli and mango-poblano pico. It's also worth sampling alongside lemon-butter scallops or steamed mussels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When drinking a Sauvignon Blanc that's been aged in oak, try something a bit heavier to accent the vanilla creme and toasted flavors. Grilled chicken with grilled veggies, chicken Francaise, or lemon-lime cilantro cream mahi-mahi (or swordfish) will pair nicely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n Serving and storing Sauvignon Blanc wines the right way can greatly enhance your tasting experience, ensuring that you fully appreciate the vibrant flavors and aromas of this delightful white wine. Here are some tips to help you make the most of your Sauvignon Blanc:<\/p>\n\n\n\n The ideal serving temperature for Sauvignon Blanc is between 45\u00b0F and 50\u00b0F (7\u00b0C and 10\u00b0C). Chilling the wine at this temperature range accentuates its refreshing acidity and crisp flavors. To achieve the perfect temperature, you can refrigerate the bottle for about 2 hours before serving or use a wine cooler to maintain the desired temperature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sauvignon Blanc is best enjoyed in a white wine glass<\/strong><\/a> with a narrow bowl and slightly tapered top. This shape helps concentrate the wine's delicate aromas and directs the wine to the appropriate areas of the palate, ensuring that you can fully appreciate its lively flavors and refreshing acidity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To maintain the quality and freshness of your Sauvignon Blanc, it's important to store the wine properly. Keep the bottles in a cool, dark place, such as a wine cellar or a temperature-controlled wine refrigerator. The ideal storage temperature for most white wines, including Sauvignon Blanc, is around 45\u00b0F to 55\u00b0F (7\u00b0C to 13\u00b0C). It's also crucial to store the wine away from direct sunlight or strong artificial light, as prolonged exposure can damage the wine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n When storing Sauvignon Blanc or any wine with a natural cork, it's essential to store the bottles horizontally. This keeps the cork moist and prevents it from drying out, which could lead to oxidation and spoilage of the wine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This grape variety can grow in both cool and warm climates within a variety of soil compositions. That makes it a bit complex. For instance, in New Zealand, Sauvignon Blanc is drastically affected by the type of soil it\u2019s grown in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThicker,\u201d more dense soil compositions tend to bring out more earth and herbal flavors, while \u201cthinner,\u201d more aerated soils tend to produce less herbaceous and more tropical Sauvignon Blanc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Compound these soil variations with different climates and this grape variety gets even more intricate. Cooler climates also bring out more earth, herb, and citrus, while warmer climates bring out more tropical and tree fruit flavors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Excessive warmth during the growing season can force these late budding, early ripening grapes to over-ripen. Over-ripe Sauvignon Blanc will lack aromatics, acid, and depth of flavor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n Most Sauvignon Blancs are meant to be enjoyed soon after release but a variety of factors can contribute to age-worthiness. Sauternes, the Sauvignon Blanc blend from Bordeaux, can age for decades due to the high sugar and acidity levels. Some Bordeaux Blancs are also age-worthy, though they are also blends. Oak-aged Sauvignon Blancs like the one produced by Merry Edwards can also age for several years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sustainability and organic practices have gained significant importance in the wine industry, and Sauvignon Blanc production has been embracing these values as well. Environmentally conscious consumers can find wineries that prioritize eco-friendly methods and organic farming, aiming to minimize their impact on the environment while producing high-quality wines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Organic vineyards, for instance, avoid synthetic chemical inputs like pesticides, herbicides, and fungicides. They rely on natural alternatives such as compost, cover crops, and biodynamic preparations to maintain soil health and fertility. These practices help promote biodiversity, protect beneficial insects, and encourage a balanced ecosystem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n Integrated pest management is another approach adopted by some wineries. This method focuses on monitoring and managing pests using a combination of biological, cultural, and chemical practices. By minimizing the use of chemical treatments, these vineyards can reduce their environmental footprint and protect the surrounding ecosystem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Water conservation is a crucial aspect of sustainable wine production. Wineries may implement techniques such as drip irrigation, rainwater harvesting, and the use of drought-tolerant cover crops to optimize water usage and reduce waste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Furthermore, energy efficiency and the use of renewable energy sources are becoming more prevalent in wine production. Solar panels, wind turbines, and energy-efficient equipment help wineries reduce their carbon emissions and reliance on non-renewable energy sources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sustainable packaging and waste management practices are gaining traction among wineries making Sauvignon Blanc as well. Lightweight bottles, recycled materials, and eco-friendly packaging solutions minimize waste and lower the environmental impact of wine production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For those who enjoy the crisp and refreshing flavors of Sauvignon Blanc, there are several other white grape varieties that offer similar characteristics and delightful tasting experiences. Here are a few suggestions for wine lovers looking to explore wines akin to Sauvignon Blanc:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Often blended with Sauvignon Blanc, particularly in Bordeaux, Semillon shares some similar flavor profiles. Semillon wines tend to be slightly more rounded and may exhibit flavors of lemon, green apple, and sometimes honey or lanolin, depending on the wine's age and region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Originating from Spain, particularly the Rueda region, Verdejo wines are known for their fresh and zesty character. These wines typically feature notes of citrus, green apple, and tropical fruits, along with a subtle herbaceous quality that can be reminiscent of Sauvignon Blanc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hailing from the Galicia region in northwest Spain, Albari\u00f1o wines are celebrated for their high acidity and refreshing nature. They often display flavors of citrus, green apple, and stone fruits, complemented by a distinctive saline minerality that adds complexity and depth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n This Austrian grape variety produces wines with bright acidity and a similar herbaceous quality to Sauvignon Blanc. Gruner Veltliner wines often present flavors of green apple, citrus, and white pepper, making them an excellent choice for those seeking a zesty and intriguing white wine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Primarily grown in Italy, particularly in Sardinia and Tuscany, Vermentino wines are known for their crisp, refreshing character. These wines typically exhibit flavors of citrus, green apple, and pear, along with a pleasant minerality and sometimes a slightly bitter almond finish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
