About Cabernet Sauvignon

Cabernet Sauvignon is the world's most famous red wine grape, a Vitis vinifera cultivar that originated in the Bordeaux region of France as a natural cross between Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon Blanc, identified by DNA research in 1996. It produces small, thick-skinned blue-black berries in loose clusters and is late ripening, needing a long, warm season to reach full maturity. The thick skins yield deeply colored, tannic, age-worthy wines with signature blackcurrant and cedar notes. Widely planted from Bordeaux to Napa, Chile, and Australia, it is a vigorous, adaptable vine with good resistance to some diseases due to its tough skin. Home and small-vineyard growers choose it for classic dry red wine in regions with hot, dry summers.
