Should Cabernet Sauvignon Be Chilled?

Red wine should be in the range of 55°F–65°F. ... Fuller-bodied, tannic wines like Bordeaux and Napa Cabernet Sauvignon taste better warmer, so keep them to 45 minutes in the fridge. Red wine that's too cold tastes dull, but when too warm, it's flabby and alcoholic.

Is Cabernet Sauvignon served cold or warm?

Full bodied reds, such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, and Zinfandel are best served between 59-68° F. You might be saying isn't that too cold for a red wine? The wine will taste much better cooler and keep in mind that wines tend to warm up in the glass as well!

Should I refrigerate Cabernet Sauvignon after opening?

When it comes to red wine, because its characteristics are better expressed in warmer temperatures, any form of chilling might seem like a faux pas. But you shouldn't be afraid of storing opened red wine in the fridge. Cooler temperatures slow down chemical processes, including oxidation.
