Exploring the World of Cabernet Sauvignon at Amon Carter

A Brief History of Cabernet Sauvignon

Cabernet Sauvignon is one of the most widely recognized and respected wine varieties in the world. Its origins date back to the 17th century, when it was first cultivated in Bordeaux, France. The grape quickly gained popularity due to its thick skin, which made it resistant to disease and pests, allowing for mass production. This led to widespread cultivation across Europe and eventually around the globe.

As a result of its global reach, Cabernet Sauvignon has developed distinct flavor profiles depending on the region in which it is grown. The classic Bordeaux blend, for example, typically includes Cabernet Sauvignon alongside Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot. This unique combination creates a rich, complex wine that is both bold and refined.
