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.
Country
United States
Of all the New World wine countries, perhaps the one which has demonstrated the most flair for producing high quality wines - using a combination of traditional and forward-thinking contemporary methods - has been the United States of America. For the past couple of centuries, the United States has set about transforming much of its suitable land into vast vineyards, capable of supporting a wide variety of world-class grape varietals which thrive on both the Atlantic and the Pacific coastlines. Of course, we immediately think of sun-drenched California in regards to American wines, with its enormous vineyards responsible for the New World's finest examples of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot based wines, but many other states have taken to viticulture in a big way, with impressive results. Oregon, Washington State and New York have all developed sophisticated and technologically advanced wine cultures of their own, and the output of U.S wineries is increasing each year as more and more people are converted to their produce.
Region
California
California as a wine producing region has grown in size and importance considerably over the past couple of centuries, and today is the proud producer of more than ninety percent of the United States' wines. Indeed, if California was a country, it would be the fourth largest producer of wine in the world, with a vast range of vineyards covering almost half a million acres. The secret to California's success as a wine region has a lot to do with the high quality of its soils, and the fact that it has an extensive Pacific coastline which perfectly tempers the blazing sunshine it experiences all year round. The winds coming off the ocean cool the vines, and the natural valleys and mountainsides which make up most of the state's wine regions make for ideal areas in which to cultivate a variety of high quality grapes.

Decanter
This blend of 77% Cabernet Sauvignon, 18% Merlot, 2% Cabernet Franc, 2% Petite Verdot, and 1% Malbec is sourced from five vineyards near the towns of Saratoga and Los Gatos, from sites perched above the Santa Clara Valley in the Santa Cruz Mountains. It’s a tremendously powerful, full-bodied wine with blackberry and black cherry fruit, currant spice, and fragrant loamy earth layered with rich underbrush character and pine forest accents. Soaring Earl Grey tea tannins frame this dark, brooding wine, lifted by a rich thread of juicy, grippy acidity.

Dark and winey, with mulberry, boysenberry and black currant fruit that shows a zesty edge. This offers brambly grip, with sweet bay, violet and anise notes darting around to add range and energy. Best from 2026 through 2038. 2,982 cases made.

The most complicated of the Domaine Eden wines in terms of vineyard sourcing, the 2020 Cabernet Sauvignon is made from two Los Gatos vineyards, from Domaine Eden, and from some declassified Mount Eden Bordeaux varieties. This vintage consists of 77% Cabernet Sauvignon, 18% Merlot, and 2% each Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot and Malbec, meant to represent the middle of the appellation's mountain range. It spends 22 months in a blend of American and French oak, all neutral, including 2- to 5-year-old barrels used previously by Mount Eden. Blackcurrant and cassis dominate on the nose, with balanced layers of dried herb, black olive, and approachable tannins prevailing on the palate. Drink now through 2030.
Winery Notes
A true Bordeaux blend encompassing the top five Bordeaux grapes varieties: Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot with small additions of Petit Verdot and Malbec. Aged in 50/50 French and American oak, 10% of each was new, for 2 years. The lots are fermented separately using natural fermentations and French oak. Aging this wine to maturity for two years, no fining or filtration is conducted prior to bottling, just like the Estate regimen.
