Cabernet Sauvignon

Use Calon-Ségur 2019 to study Cabernet Sauvignon’s role in a blend, not to memorise a fixed list of flavours.

The background that matters

Cabernet Sauvignon ripens later than Merlot and has a structural role in blends.

Read it alongside this wine

Calon-Ségur 2019 also contains Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Read its review as the finished blend: you cannot confidently assign each aroma or all its tannin to Cabernet Sauvignon alone.

Try it with the review

Find one fruit descriptor and one structural observation. Explain whether they concern aroma, acidity, tannin or body. Keep fruit ripeness separate from sweetness, and tannin quantity separate from texture.

These are learning prompts, not guaranteed tasting results. Separate the published facts from your own observations.
