Cabernet Sauvignon

Cabernet Sauvignon Wine Details
Price: $30.00 per bottle

Description: It had something to do with sheep. It must have! I’d be crushed if there were no connections between lambs in Bordeaux and plant breeding. Were sheep the leavening in the elevage of Bordeaux wines from Cabernet Franc-based pinkish Claret to Cabernet Sauvignon-based Rouge? What recipe required the creation of the Cabernet Sauvignon grape variety in 1600? I’ll take the plunge . . . there was a lamb involved. ’Twas a conspiracy! A cuvee of shepherds and vignerons . . . Yes! Now I understand! My neighbor raises sheep and cattle, I make red wine.
