What's the difference between a French Bordeaux and a California Cabernet sauvignon?

In the U.S. varietal wines are named after the dominant grape used to make them. In France (except for Alscace) they're named for the region in which the grapes are grown. The predominant grape in Bordeaux is Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc, but some of the grand crus chateaus use mostly, if not exclusively, Merlot.It is worth noting that very few wine experts would fail to recognize grand crus or premiere crus Bordeaux or would confuse them with California Cabernets. The so-called great-growth and first-growth wines are affected by their unique terroir, which imparts unmistakable attributes and charactersitics to them that California wines do not possess.

To our California palate, a Bourdeaux will taste quite different from a Cabernet. French wines (in general) have a more earthy flavor and it does have to do with the land and the many, many years the vines have been producing.

Bordeaux is somewhat of an acquired taste. After drinking Cabs from CA, you may be surprised. It's fun to do a taste test.

Some good info given so far, well done guys. Here's few extra bits you might find interesting. The five red grapes grown in Bordeaux are: Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, Malbec. ALL Bordeaux reds are a blend of one or more of those grapes. Its worth nothing that if a bottle of Californian wine states the grape variety only 75% of the wine must be made from that grape (85% if its being sold into the EU), so basically most Californian Cabernet Sauvignons may be blends!

Should cabernet be served at room temperature?

Brandy doesn't need refrigerated at all. Actually, it's best not to put it in the refrigerator, because Brandy should be drunk at body temperature. If you've noticed, a Brandy glass is sort of in a balloon kind of shape - which fits into the palm of your hand, and your hand is the same temperature as your body. That's why the glass is made that way - so your hands will warm the Brandy.

What is the storing temperature for cabernet?

"Room temperature" - is the most frequent and the most common response. But there's a definite caveat ("cabeat"? LOL) to this.

In the USA, "room temperature" is typically considered 72 degrees. This is too warm for virtually any wine. The wine will taste too hot and lose those subtleties of flavor for which Cabernet's are renowned. Worse still, depending on the individual, they may store the wine in an area of the house in which the temperatures rise above 72 degrees, perhaps well above. Higher temperatures can conceivably "cook" the wine, reverting a perfectly delightful wine to grape alcohol.

If we think of the typical old world wine cellars where wines were stored, cool (due to the ambient temperature, and due to the "cold" stone walls and dirt floors) cellar-type areas with a fair amount of air circulation (due to the, relatively, poor insulation and construction), we realize that the old term "room temperature" is noticeably cooler than the "room temperature" we now find in modern homes / restaurants that are well insulated against the weather.

Therefore, roughly 60 - 65 degrees (63 - 68 is a good range) is more appropriate for hearty wines like the Cabernet's.

Of course, some individuals may prefer the Cabernet just a bit cooler, some a bit warmer. Personal taste always takes precedence. But generally speaking, if we stay in that approximate 65 degree "zone", that chosen Cabernet will reveal all it has to offer.

Hope this helps a bit.
