This is a video that explains the differences in between Bordeaux based Cabernet Sauvignon wines and Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon wines.

My first video about explaining the Bordeaux region seemed to be quite well received so I will keep doing these videos if viewer are interested. Bordeaux is an area I feel most comfortable about talking about as this my preferred area of drinking.

A couple of other things I forgot to mention: for Napa, there is also the additional risk, with global warming, of wild fires, which we are seeing more in California each year. Also because of global warming, Bordeaux is getting warmer, which is actually better for their Cab not worrisome for Merlot.

The soil in Bordeaux not only adds minerality but earthiness and aromas/flavors like Asian spices and graphite, which you don't see as much in Napa.

If you enjoy this video, please like, subscribe and leave me a comment/question. Cheers!
