What science says

flavor pairing evidence

“Seventy-four aroma active compounds were observed in Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon wines produced in California and Australia.”

compound effect

“The potent flavour compound, damascenone, was a major component of the acid hydrolysates of both juice samples.”

damascenone → is a major component of → acid hydrolysates of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon grape juice

compound effect

“The mean isobutylMP level of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, and Merlot Japanese commercial red wines was significantly higher than the mean isobutylMP level of Muscat Bailey A and Zweigeltrebe.”

isobutylMP → vary → Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, and Merlot Japanese commercial red wines

Methoxypyrazine Content of Japanese Red Wines DOI →1996DOI

compound effect

“MPs in the Cabernet Sauvignon red wines were derived not only from the pulp but also from other parts of the grape berries. All of the Cabernet Sauvignon red wines made annually from 1975 to 1994 contained 2-methoxy-3-isobutylpyrazine (isobutylMP), although those made from well-ripened grapes had a low isobutylMP level. It is suggested that the climatic conditions of September might effect the isobutylMP level of Cabernet Sauvignon grapes and red wines.”

2-methoxy-3-isobutylpyrazine (isobutylMP) → affect → Cabernet Sauvignon red wines
