Cabernet sauvignon, one of the most popular grape types, produces elements of herbs and spices, or deeper flavors such as currant and leather. Napa Valley chardonnays, another popular offering, pair well with lighter meals, such as seafood and pasta, and run the gamut from clean, crisp tastes to more intriguing and layered ones. Merlot, zinfandel, malbec, sauvignon blanc, and pinot grigio are also mainstays of the Napa Valley experience. Less familiar varietals include the sangiovese, which balances medium body with fruit and spice aspects, and the nebbiolo, which can take years to age well but rewards drinkers with a complex aromatic and taste profile.
