Cabernet Sauvignon

Cabernet Sauvignon is the world's most widely planted red wine grape and the backbone of the great wines of Bordeaux's Medoc: a thick-skinned, late-ripening variety that yields full-bodied, deeply coloured, firmly tannic reds built around blackcurrant, black cherry and cedar. Grown in nearly every warm wine country on earth, it is prized for its structure, aromatic intensity and remarkable capacity to age. Whether blended in the Bordeaux style with Merlot and Cabernet Franc or bottled as a bold New World varietal, it is the benchmark serious red — powerful, savoury and built for the cellar.
