Wine comes in a variety of different intensities and flavors. Some have a strong and sweet flavor, while others have a light bitter taste. When cooking with wine, or pairing it with food, you must choose the correct flavor of wine to ensure the best outcome. The sweetness, bitterness and acidity of the wine all come in the play when making a decision.
Cabernet Sauvignon and other full flavored wines can be flavored with black currant, cherry, chocolate, red pepper or plums. Most Cabernets are aged at least 3 years which allows the flavor to become very prominent. Whether you are using the wine to cook or pairing it with a meal, Cabernet Sauvignon works well with red meats and hard cheeses. The bitterness of the wine helps break down the fat and brings out more of the natural flavor. Dark chocolate is also a favorite pairing for Cabernet Sauvignon.
