Abeja Cabernet Sauvignon Heather Hill 2019 750ml

Bold, juicy and fresh with classic tones of smoked red pepper, blackberry jus and black plum, the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Heather Hill is expressive on the nose, with elegant oak tones of brown baking spices and delightful rocky and floral essences. Medium to full-bodied, the palate displays succulent acidity with fine-grained tannins that make my mouth water and have me craving chargrilled red steaks and chops. This beauty will continue to age gracefully and remain food friendly for years to come. Just under 8,000 bottles were produced. Nicely done!

Varietal

Cabernet Sauvignon

By far and away the most recognized and widely grown red wine grape varietal in the world is the Cabernet Sauvignon. First cultivated in the 18th century in France, this wonderful cross of Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon Blanc grapes has long since been the most important varietal for red wines across the globe. Now grown everywhere from its native France to the furthest reaches of the New World, Cabernet Sauvignon is adored and prized by wineries for its hardiness and resistance to rot, as well as its large and sharp flavors and wonderful capability for fine aging Indeed, many of the finest wines of history and the modern age would be simply unimaginable without Cabernet Sauvignon grapes, with the famed wineries of Bordeaux and other important regions using it as the primary grape in their oak aged produce. High tannin levels, acidity and powerful flavors are the characteristics most commonly associated with this varietal, however, when blended and slowly aged, it is capable of a world of flavors and aromas unmatched by any other grape.
