Cabernet Sauvignon is a splendid grape variety used in the creation of some of the world's finest red wines. The full-bodied, complex wines made properly from Cabernet Sauvignon grapes are well balanced and intense with splendid fragrances. These long-lived wines start off high in tannins, but smooth out to a velvety finish with ageing. Cabernet sauvignon is frequently blended with Merlot and Cabernet Franc to soften it somewhat. Characteristics: Fine rich tannic reds. Appropriate Foods: Beef, lamb, turkey, and aged cheeses.
I like the CS, it rivals the Merlot and the Shiraz. No worries about recommending. I'd also like to relay a story, I wanted to make some Christmas brew for my friends, along with the Sloe Gin, Chutney etc in our home made hampers. I couldn't see one here from which now I buy all my stuff. Seems cheaper than elsewhere and you get it within a few days - that's very unusual in my experience. Now I did find on one (Xmax brew) that e-mails me all the time that I bought some stuff off back mid 2010, Christmas ale and a few Beaverdale, even though they were 41,50 for the vine (cf 39.50) I thought I'd save the bother and my delivery (although always free with the amont of stuff I by here). That was 10 days ago and I see like back in 2010 some stuff is not in stock again. So a few days ago I ordered Shiraz, CS and Merlot and today it arrived, still no sign of the other company stuff. I won't use their name but I will be on their site after this letting them know it's not good enough again and I won't ever use them again. Good work Creative, keep it flowing quickly.

Last time I made beer / wine was in the 80’s. Apart from the demijohns I needed all new kit. They have a good selection, good stock and good prices. Nice people too. I’ll be back.Mikey Kohut (21 Oct 2023, 09:38)
Good kits at a good price. Very fast delivery by APC and tracking which was spot on (I've written a good review on their website).
Packing was meticulous, with both kits arriving in pristine condition. In short, it was all very good, from a company that clearly cares about its business and deserves to go from strength-to-strength.Tom Bennett (15 Nov 2022, 10:20)
