This Cab comes from two main subregions in the Central Valley in Chile - Colchagua and Maule. They combine for a soft, round expression of Cabernet, with a mix of both black and red fruit, some peppercorn and tobacco. It has smooth tannins, plenty of dark plum and a touch of mint.

Origin: It’s believed that the first wines made were in the Medoc region, in the west of France. Mainly Grown In: France leads the way here, with Bordeaux the big one. Also California, South Australia, central and northern Italy, plus Argentina. Key Facts: Cabernet Sauvignon is truly a globetrotter. Having its home in Bordeaux certainly helped its rapid expansion, as the Bordelaise (those coming from Bordeaux) are excellent marketers of their own product! Now found in almost all wine-producing countries of the world, Cab Sav is traditionally full-bodied, loaded with plenty of dark fruit (think blueberry and blackberry) and backed up by a zing of herbal/ grassy kind of flavours. It’s also known for its strong backbone of tannin – that furry, drying sensation you sometimes get with red wines. Cabernet has plenty of it, but is still a smooth talker regardless. Fun Fact: Famed film director Francis Ford Coppola is almost as rich from his wines as he is from his films! His prize Cabernet Sauvignon costs around $400!
