Everything You Need to Know About Cabernet Sauvignon
Let’s face it, wine can be confusing. It doesn’t have to be this way: delicious booze should be understood and appreciated by all. Patrick Cappiello, the award-winning wine director at Rebelle in New York City, completely agrees. So he is going to break down the basics of the most common wine varietals you’ll find in a store or at a restaurant.
This week, he breaks down cabernet sauvignon, explaining the qualities of the grape, regions where it grows best, proper glassware, food pairings, how to find a good one, and other varietals to try if you find you like cabernet sauvignon.

Very honest and unpretentious reviews. Love the style and really enjoy the posts
This is the tastiest red wine too me. Dry but with a sweet after taste.
Thank you for explaining the wine without the snobbery 👍.
Was drinking a Cab as he spoke..... And enjoyed it even more 😌
Red wine has subtle notes of beef stock and motor oil with an afterbirth of child abuse. Magnificent.

Cabarnet is my most favorite. Recently I’ve tried a Petite Sirah by Stag’s Leap and it was a great wine. I haven’t had a good Zinfandel for along time.
the chateau margaux 2010 runs about $1500 i could only imagine a 1990. definitely a prize worthy bordeaux.
My favorite red wine style by far.
Bloody wine snobs, some of the Australian or even South American Cab Sav's are as good as those mentioned at a more respectable price point

Dude! It would be simpler for you to just come to Cape Town and discover an extraordinary culinary and wine drinking experience!
Fantastic presentation.I like Cabernet Sauvignon, I buy from a store in Chicago, American wines are the best. This wine comes from California, there are favorable conditions for viticulture. Many American vineyards produce quite good spirits that can easily compete with the most awarded spirits.

Nope. American wineries usually make over-sweet wines to cater to american public, but outside the USA the sugar content of the wines is not so high. On an international level, only top producers from usa that make european style wines are known, everything else is just sugar water
Fantastic presentation. I also love tasting various types of red wine. Even the cabernet to from Israel was unique in taste and it's aroma.
More Patrick videos!!
I always learn so much with you dude, thanks a bunch !
I was a beer guy until I came across Cabernet Sauvignon.
Does it contain 12% alcohol or more, is all I want to know.
Napa produces an array of great Cab Savs with my fav being Caymus. I prefer the wider glass tho as I want the wine “stimulated”. I find the aroma and taste improved with the deeper glass. Great vid!
I like wine, but I understand 5% of whatever you said. Cheers 🍷

Without a doubt the best cab sav area in the world is Coonawarra in South Australia. Great area for cab sav and fantastic soil that produces great quality year after year. Nappa Valley wines are from all reports pretty ordinary and not up to world standard.
Why are Napa Valley wines so expensive in the U.K. ? I’ve been to the States and they can be expensive too but over here the majority-if you can find them -are crazy prices .

Good description bro
Cabernet is one of my least favorite reds. The reason why is because it's too tight, oaky and tannic. I prefer velvety and more dense wines like syrah. Or many pinot noirs which I would describe as lush. There is also very little spice to cabernet, so it doesn't work for me in that way like a zinfandel. Just my experience.
@chenxilin7172

Syrah could be very tight and tannic though. There are a lot reasons that you found a wine is not taste well. The age, the time dat you decant,the climate and the soil. You need to find the right way to pick them.

@@chenxilin7172 I've tried a lot of Cabernet over the years. The best thing I can say about Cabernet is that with the oak comes vanilla, I do like the taste of vanilla and occasionally that comes through very strong. I think a lot of people would say that's perhaps "overdone" or bad Cabernet though, lol. I guess it's probably the general flavor profile of the grape that I don't care for as much. I don't claim to have a great palate, just average, so perhaps it's just that I can't appreciate Cabernet as much as others who are more discerning.

BigBadJerry Rogers bigger wine is generally meant to age, anything ready to drink within the 1-3 year range tend to be lighter. Gamays, pinots etc
I drink my Cab straight from the bottle. So I never put the wine under all that hydro-static stresses of pouring into a glass. A Cabernet goes with any food, except peanut butter and bokkoms. A Pinotage goes with the food you described. Do you know Pinotage? And being a wind drinker and wine lover, I never pretend I am a wind snob.
yay
Technically it’s not the tannins that give age-ability to the wine, because they dont transform nor diminish over time, but it is the acidity.

I know people who prefer Washington State over Napa, or even Paso Robles over Napa. It doesn’t mean that a person is misinformed for having a preference. Rather, it’s their pállate that dictates their taste.

If you mention oak, and only say it adds tannins to a cab, you don't know much about cab sorry. I'm pretty surprised how many mistakes servers or sommeliers I've seen on youtube make about wine. That's the risk with saying you're an expert and going on record, you better have actually done all your homework. KZread, where you can look up something you want to learn more about, and end up commenting and teaching the person claiming to be an expert. Don't get lazy people, you got to seek out good sources, youtube is sort of a bargain bin of knowledge, you gotta dig around in there for the good stuff.

I mean you are correct in that the most important aspect in choosing wine is whether you like it or not, but otherwise you are dead wrong. During fermentation and aging natural chemical processes create scent and flavor chemicals that are the same as found in other scents and flavors referenced. For example, Madeira contains the same flavor chemicals as maple syrup so has flavors reminiscent of maple syrup. Cabernet Franc has a good amount of pyrazines, which are a flavor chemical that literally tastes like bell peppers, jalapeños, and the like. So no, sommeliers are not inherently talking BS.
