The world’s most popular red wine grape is a natural cross between Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon Blanc from Bordeaux, France. Cabernet Sauvignon is loved for its high concentration and age worthiness. Black cherry, black current, graphite, baking spices and cedar are all commonly recognizable in cabernet. Outside of Bordeaux, Napa Valley is perhaps the most famous and respected growing region for cabernet sauvignon world wide. The rich flavor and high tannin content in Cabernet Sauvignon make it a perfect partner to rich grilled meats, peppery sauces, and dishes with high flavor.
