Cabernet Sauvignon is one of the world's most prestigious and widely planted red wine grapes. Known for producing full-bodied wines with excellent aging potential, it thrives in diverse climates and has become the flagship variety of many wine regions globally.
Flavors & Aromas
Dark berries, blackcurrant, plum, cedar, tobacco, and herbaceous notes. In cooler climates, it exhibits more vegetal and green pepper characteristics, while warmer regions produce riper fruit flavors with hints of chocolate and vanilla.
Winemaking & Aging
High tannin content provides structure and aging potential, often improving over 10-30 years in quality examples. Medium to high acidity and alcohol levels (typically 13-14%). Frequently blended with Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and other Bordeaux varieties. Performs best in well-drained soils and benefits from extended barrel aging in oak.
