A plush mix of red and black fruits here, with plenty of plum and cherry alongside blackcurrant jam. The oak certainly plays its part too, with chocolate and liquorice poking through. It's medium-bodied with an earthy edge, and finishes long and powerful.

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 it’s home in Bordeaux certainly helped it’s 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: Cabernet Sauvignon is the most planted wine grape in the world. Seriously. The whole world. Hat's off to the King! (or the Queen).
