01/06/26 Wine Tasting - The Noble Grapes: Cabernet Sauvignon - 6PM

The Noble Grapes

In the wine world, “noble grapes” refers to a small group of classic varieties that have shaped how we drink and think about wine: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, and Riesling.

For our first tasting series of the new year, the Murphy’s Wine Team is revisiting these six grapes, not to define them, but to explore how they’ve evolved as they’ve traveled far beyond their historic homes. From benchmark regions to unexpected corners of the wine world, each tasting will highlight how place, climate, and winemaking shape even the most familiar varieties.

Think of this series as a fresh look at old friends.

Cabernet Sauvignon

Cabernet Sauvignon may be the most recognized red wine grape on the planet, but its story is far from one-note. Born in Bordeaux, Cabernet has proven remarkably adaptable, taking on new personalities wherever it’s planted, from classic expressions to distinctly regional interpretations.

Join us on Tuesday, January 6th as we taste five expressions of Cabernet Sauvignon, exploring how this noble grape changes with place while still holding onto the structure and character that made it famous.
