Cabernet Sauvignon is the world’s most popular red wine grape, for good reason too. Produced in almost every major wine-growing nation, Cabernet Sauvignon is the epitome of a what a big red wine should be: fruit-forward, intense, full-bodied and with the potential to age for decades. This is arguably red wine at its very best.
