Originating in the Bordeaux region of France, Cabernet Sauvignon is now one of the most widely planted and celebrated grape varieties in the world. Known for its thick skin and late ripening, this grape produces full-bodied, powerful wines with firm tannins and high acidity.

Cabernet Sauvignon-based wines often exhibit flavors of black currant, cassis, and black cherry, accompanied by secondary notes of cedar, tobacco, and graphite. Some of the key regions for Cabernet Sauvignon include Bordeaux (France), Napa Valley (USA), and Coonawarra (Australia).
