The aromas and flavors can be plummy, chocolaty, and even redolent of tea leaves. It is often blended with Cabernet Sauvignon although it is the most prevalent grape variety in Bordeaux.


      California:

      California produces the majority of wine made in the United States. Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Sauvignon Blanc, Zinfandel and Pinot Noir dominate the wine production in California, but many other varietials thrive in the California climate.

      Cabernet Sauvignon:

      (cab er nay saw vee nyon)—This highly adaptable grape grows almost anywhere it is relatively warm, but the best wines come from the Burgundy region of France (where it is a noble variety), California, and Australia. It became famous through the red wines of the Médoc district of Bordeaux and is now grown in Washington, southern France, Italy, Australia, South Africa, Chile, and Argentina. Cabernet Sauvignon grapes make wines that are high in tannin and medium- to full-bodied. Usually identified as having black currant or cassis flavors, the grape can also possess vegetal tones when the grapes are less than ideally ripe. The best wines are rich and firm with great depth, and are often aged for fifteen years or more. Because it is highly tannic, Cabernet Sauvignon is often blended with other less-tannic grapes such as Merlot.


      Victoria:

      Victoria is a one of the most important wine producing regions in Australia. The wine industry was jump started by the discovery of gold in the area, but as the gold ran out the area would rely more on the wine as a source of revenue. Victoria is the smallest and southernmost region in Australia excluding Tasmania. Near the coast (Yarra Valley) the climate is cooler where Victoria is known for Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. As you move further in land, the sun beats down creating better conditions for Victoria's Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon. In the Northeast corner of Victoria are grown enticingly sweet Muscat and Tokays, which are a specialty to Victoria.
