Cabernet Sauvignon Wine Guide

What is Cabernet Sauvignon?

Cabernet Sauvignon is the world's most planted premium red wine grape variety. Originating from Bordeaux, France, it has become a benchmark for quality red wine production globally. The grape produces deeply colored wines with firm tannins, excellent structure, and flavors that evolve beautifully with age. In warmer climates like Napa Valley, Cabernet develops ripe, fruity characteristics, while cooler regions produce more herbaceous, structured wines.
