Cabernet Sauvignon is a variety of red grape mainly used for wine production, and is, along with Chardonnay, one of the most widely-planted of the world's grape varieties. The principal grape in many Bordeaux wines, Cabernet Sauvignon is grown in most of the world's wine regions, although it requires a long growing season to ripen properly and gives low yields. The particularly thick skin of the Cabernet Sauvignon grape results in wines that can be high in tannin which provides both structure and age ability. As a group, Cabernet Sauvignon wines are generally full-flavored, with a smooth and lingering finish.

In the U.S., it is often made using full malolactic fermentation to soften the acidity and some oak handling. When aged with oak, Chardonnay can acquire a smokey, vanilla, caramel, and butter aroma.

Stainless: Without oak, Chardonnay generally produces a soft wine, often with fruity flavors.

Merlot is a red wine grape that is used as both a blending grape and for varietal wines. Merlot-based wines usually have medium body with hints of berry, plum, and currant. Its softness and "fleshiness", combined with its earlier ripening, makes Merlot an ideal grape to blend with the sterner, later-ripening Cabernet Sauvignon. This flexibility has helped to make it one of the most popular red wine varietals in the United States and Chile.
