Cabernet Sauvignon (French: [kabɛʁnɛ soviɲɔ̃]) is one of the world's most widely recognized red wine grape varieties. It is grown in nearly every major wine producing country among a diverse spectrum of climates from Australia and British Columbia, Canada to Lebanon's Beqaa Valley.
Cabernet Sauvignon, one of the most widely planted grape varieties, provides the backbone for iconic wines from Bordeaux, Napa Valley, Chile, and beyond.
Cabernet Sauvignon is the world's most popular red wine grape and is a natural cross between Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon Blanc.
We’ll dive into the rich history of Cabernet Sauvignon, explore its global popularity, and discuss its unique characteristics. You’ll learn about techniques that winemakers use to craft Cabernet Sauvignon as well as how it compares to other red wine varieties like Merlot and Pinot Noir.
Cabernet Sauvignon dominates the global wine market with a vast range of styles and affordability. Your options range from high-rolling cult-status bottlings to an array of popular bottles that run around $20.
DNA testing in 1997 proved that Cabernet is the offspring of two classic French grapes: Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon Blanc. The crossing probably happened a few centuries ago, and vignerons quickly detected the noble properties of the young vine and its flavorful fruit.
