Flavor profile:
When it comes to flavors, a Cabernet sauvignon is typically packed with complex flavors of dark berries with hints of spice or tobacco and a powerful finish. With tannins and acidity falling right in the middle, a good Cab can be enjoyed and paired with many different foods, or even by itself. You can’t go wrong!
Our favorite pairing recommendations:
There are so many ways to pair your wine, and we’ve highlighted our favorites to ensure that you can receive the full flavors notes of this delicious wine. Whether you’re looking for ideas for a wine night with friends, holiday gatherings, or a dinner date, here are 3 classic pairings that will make your glass of Cab shine.
Red meat is the soul mate of Cabernet Sauvignon. To enhance the most flavors and a smooth finish on the palate, we suggest sipping your Cab with a slightly fattier steak such as ribeye or sirloin, served rare to medium-rare. A grilled rack of lamb recipe is another perfect pairing – the flavors of the meat & Cabernet will be sure to impress. For those looking for a non-meat dish and want to taste the notes of their Cab, we love a grilled Portobello mushroom with butter and garlic. Pair your dish of choice with a side of cheesy polenta and a bottle of the Coeur Cabernet Sauvignon, and bon appétit!
Ladies’ night? You can’t go wrong with a charcuterie board. With a Cabernet Sauvignon, it’s recommended to pair your wine with a hard cheese such as gouda or an aged cheddar. Make your board full by adding crackers, nuts, dried fruit, and prosciutto with your favorite cheeses, and you are good to go! Pair each bite with the delicate Eighteen Seventy-Three Cabernet Sauvignon. With complex fruit aromas of ripe blackberry and plum, and a powerful, bright finish, your contribution to Ladies’ night will be an absolute hit. Cheers!
