On The House Cabernet Sauvignon – 30 Bottle Wine Kit

On The House Cabernet Sauvignon is a medium-bodied deep ruby red wine with hints of black fruit & oak and aromas of black currant and cedar. Cabernet Sauvignon is a French wine known as one of the world’s most widely recognized red wine grape varieties. It is grown in nearly every major wine-producing country among a diverse spectrum of climates. Cabernet Sauvignon became internationally recognised through its prominence in Bordeaux wines where it is often blended with Merlot and Cabernet Franc.

Cabernet Sauvignon, as a wine, is renowned for its dark colour and full body. It is a dry wine and has a healthy level of tannin, which is why your mouth dries out when you sip it. Many people who drink Cabernet Sauvignon say they always pick up a taste of green pepper in the wine, along with cassis, and dark fruits such as cherries, along with hints of vanilla that comes from the wine ageing in the oak.
