Description
The traditional homeland of Cabernet Sauvignon is Bordeaux, but it is rarely used alone there. It is mostly blended with Merlot, to soften it. The variety also finds ideal conditions in California. The mild Mediterranean climate and mineral soils of Brda have also helped it develop. Ripe, healthy grapes produce a red wine of extraordinary character.
