Tips for Serving and Savoring Your Cabernet Sauvignon

From the temperature you store it, to the glass you serve it in, we’ve got a few extra tips to serve and savor your Cabernet Sauvignon that don’t call for going the extra mile. Here are some ways to get the most out of your wine.

What temperature should you enjoy your Cabernet Sauvignon?

It’s best to serve Cabernet Sauvignon ideally between 60° - 65° (15° -18°C). If you serve it too warm, the alcohol can become overpowering. On the contrary, too cold and the flavors don’t come to fruition.

What glassware is best for your delicious Cabernet Sauvignon?

Sip your Cabernet Sauvignon from a large, wide-bowled glass to taste all the complex flavors. The shape allows the wine to aerate and release its aromas. Sipping from a Black Box Mini? Just enjoy, no glass needed.

How to best sip on your Cabernet Sauvignon?

No rush. No problem. Savor each sip and take your time. Soak it all in, from the body to the balance of flavor, and lingering finish. You’ve earned it.

Do you need to decant Black Box Cabernet Sauvignon?

Do you need to decant your Black Box Cabernet Sauvignon?

There’s no need to decant your Black Box wine, so go ahead and skip this step. Why? Because our packaging is designed to minimize air exposure, so the wine inside is already in a stable state when you pour. That means that “letting it breathe” isn’t a required step to enjoy.
