Cabernet Sauvignon

Cabernet Sauvignon Wine Details
Price:

Description: 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.
