Cabernet Sauvignon

[donnaclif]

Renowned for the wines it produces on the well-drained, gravelly soils on the left bank of the Gironde in Bordeaux, <a href= "http://www.vivino.com/grapes/cabernet-sauvignon/">Cabernet Sauvignon</a> has been a natural choice for New World winemakers wishing to emulate the fine wine that is claret. It is a robust grape that has travelled well, and is now cultivated in Australia, South Africa, North America and South America, but has also been put to use in Italy, Spain and Eastern Europe. It has small, blue-black berries which have thick skins, providing necessary tannin, colour and flavour.
