Celebrate 'King of Reds' on National Cabernet Sauvignon Day

Celebrate 'King of Reds' on National Cabernet Sauvignon Day

Raise your glass this National Cabernet Sauvignon Day on 30 August with a bold, full-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon. With summer drawing to close, it’s the perfect excuse to fire up the BBQ and unwind with an exquisite red wine – and what better choice than “King of Reds” Cabernet Sauvignon from California?

Cabernet Sauvignon from California is celebrated globally for its quality and distinctive character. The state’s diverse climate and rich soils provide the perfect growing conditions for cultivating this esteemed varietal, leading to wines that boast bold flavours, complex aromas, and a robust structure. But why is this labelled the King of Reds? The strong tannins enable the wine to age for decades, smoothing the wine out over time, and creating a complex flavour. Decant the wine for an hour or two before drinking to air the tannins and settle the wine before drinking.

Dark Horse Cabernet Sauvignon uses French and Hungarian oak ageing techniques to make this “King of Red” stand out amongst the crowd. Dark Horse Cabernet Sauvignon holds notes of black fruits and plum, whilst leaving a hint of dark chocolate in every sip. The Dark Horse Cabernet Sauvignon has a smooth, velvety finish, allowing for a very easy drink. This wine’s bold texture and flavour pair perfectly with grilled steak and homemade burgers coated in melted cheese, making it a great candidate for a late summer BBQ.

Apothic Cabernet Sauvignon is a smooth red with hints of jammy dark fruit and aromas of vanilla, blended with a silky-smooth texture that boldly lingers on the palate. This Californian red is finished in oak, presenting aromas of caramel, blackberry, black currant and chocolate, for an in-depth flavour. The bold and comforting aromas make this wine a fantastic option as we head into autumn. It pairs well with aubergine parmigiana and cheese dishes.
