What is the difference between Cabernet Sauvignon,

Pinot Noir, and red blend?

Cabernet Sauvignon is usually fuller-bodied, richer, and bolder. It works well with steak, burgers, grilled meats, pasta with red sauce, and hearty dinners. Austin Hope, Jordan, Faust, Frank Family, DAOU, Caymus, Quilt, Bonanza, and Bezel by Cakebread are examples from this collection.

Pinot Noir is usually lighter, smoother, and more elegant, with red fruit and softer tannins. It pairs well with roasted chicken, salmon, mushrooms, cheese boards, and lighter dinners. EnRoute, Belle Glos, Meiomi, and Josh Cellars are good examples.

Red blends can be smooth, juicy, bold, or plush depending on the blend. They are often crowd-pleasing and easy to serve with casual meals. The Prisoner, Conundrum, and Hope Family Wines Quest are examples of red blends in this collection.
