Cabernet Sauvignon

Aroma & Flavor: Bold and full-bodied with dark fruit flavors like blackcurrant (cassis), blackberry, and plum, often accompanied by notes of green bell pepper, cedar, tobacco, vanilla, and sometimes mint or eucalyptus.

Body & Style: Full-bodied with firm tannins and high acidity, which makes it great for aging.

Growing Regions: Widely grown worldwide—famous regions include Bordeaux (France), Napa Valley (USA), Coonawarra (Australia), and Maipo Valley (Chile).

Use: Often blended (like in Bordeaux blends) but also frequently bottled as a single varietal. Pairs well with grilled/red meats, hearty stews, and strong cheeses.
