It has many, many accolades but it has not yet made it into an issue of Village Voices. Until now, that is.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cabernet Sauvignon <\/strong>finds its home on the Left Bank of the Gironde River in Bordeaux. Such hallowed names as <strong>Margaux, Pauillac <\/strong>and <strong>Saint-Julien<\/strong> produce world-famous wines based on this grape \u2013 often at eye-watering prices. In Bordeaux Cabernet Sauvignon is blended with Merlot which softens its sometimes rather angular nature. These angles \u2013 high acidity, grippy tannins \u2013 can be unpleasant in youth but are what helps these wines to age for years and even decades in some cases.<\/p>\n<p>As you might guess from its position as the world\u2019s favourite, you can find Cabernet Sauvignon in just about any country that makes wine. Much of it, of course, is quite terrible \u2013 simply trading on a famous name. But examples from Australia\u2019s <strong>Coonawarra<\/strong> or <strong>Margaret River<\/strong>, or South Africa\u2019s <strong>Stellenbosch<\/strong> can be not only excellent value but really quite delicious. <strong>Napa Valley<\/strong> makes some real icon wines but stay away from these if you value your wallet!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Waterkloof Circumstance Cabernet Sauvignon, Stellenbosch 2018 \u2013\u00a0 <\/strong>Sourced from the top-class vineyards of the Waterkloof Estate, this is South African Cabernet with a punch. The blackcurrant flavours are ripe and succulent, and an element of spice adds complexity. Fine grained tannins and real concentration give this wine great ageing potential.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"w-btn-wrapper align_none\"><a class=\"w-btn us-btn-style_1\" href=\"https:\/\/shop.oxfordwine.co.uk\/products\/circumstance-cabernet-sauvignon-waterkloof\"><span class=\"w-btn-label\">Find it here<\/span><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"w-separator size_medium\"><\/div><div class=\"g-cols wpb_row via_flex valign_top type_default stacking_default\"><div class=\"vc_col-sm-12 wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><div class=\"w-post-elm post_author vcard author color_link_inherit with_ava avapos_top\"><a href=\"https:\/\/oxfordwine.co.uk\/owc\/author\/tedmd\/\" class=\"fn\" aria-hidden=\"true\" tabindex=\"-1\"><div class=\"post-author-ava\" style=\"font-size:96px;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"96\" height=\"96\" src=\"https:\/\/oxfordwine.co.uk\/owc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Staff-photos-colour-1-96x96.png\" class=\"avatar avatar-96 photo\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/oxfordwine.co.uk\/owc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Staff-photos-colour-1-96x96.png 96w, https:\/\/oxfordwine.co.uk\/owc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Staff-photos-colour-1-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/oxfordwine.co.uk\/owc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Staff-photos-colour-1-1024x1024.png 1024w, https:\/\/oxfordwine.co.uk\/owc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Staff-photos-colour-1-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/oxfordwine.co.uk\/owc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Staff-photos-colour-1-350x350.png 350w, https:\/\/oxfordwine.co.uk\/owc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Staff-photos-colour-1-600x600.png 600w, https:\/\/oxfordwine.co.uk\/owc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Staff-photos-colour-1-400x400.png 400w, https:\/\/oxfordwine.co.uk\/owc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Staff-photos-colour-1-24x24.png 24w, https:\/\/oxfordwine.co.uk\/owc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Staff-photos-colour-1-48x48.png 48w, https:\/\/oxfordwine.co.uk\/owc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Staff-photos-colour-1.png 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 96px) 100vw, 96px\" \/><\/div><\/a><div class=\"post-author-meta\"><a href=\"https:\/\/oxfordwine.co.uk\/owc\/author\/tedmd\/\" class=\"post-author-name fn\">Ted Sandbach<\/a><div class=\"post-author-info\">Ted studied History and Physical Education at Loughborough University before teaching at Magdalen College School in Oxford for 7 years.
