Common questions
Does Cabernet Sauvignon need decanting?
Young, structured Cabernet often benefits from an hour in a decanter. Older bottles may have sediment and should be poured carefully. Everyday fruity Cabernet is usually fine straight from the bottle.
What food goes with Cabernet Sauvignon?
Roast beef, lamb, steak and hard cheeses are classic matches. The fat and protein soften the wine’s tannins.
