Herbal
Profiles describe recurring tendencies and established uses. Climate, ripeness, extraction, and maturation change an individual wine. Coverage is selective; an untagged grape is unclassified.
- Cabernet Franc
Pyrazines can give herbal character alongside floral and fruit aromas. Exposure, ripeness, and blending change their prominence.
- Cabernet Sauvignon
Skins and seeds supply tannin; pyrazines can supply herbal aroma. Climate, exposure, ripeness, and extraction affect both.
- Sauvignon Blanc
Cooler sites and harvest choices can preserve firm acidity and herbal pyrazine character. Fermentation also releases fruity thiols.
