Cabernet Sauvignon

1. 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 noble grape varieties.

2. One of the most famed and long-lived of grapes, it is found nearly everywhere in the world, but most famously grown in Bordeaux. In that region, Cabernet Sauvignon is usually blended with Merlot and Cabernet Franc. In Australia, it is often found with Shiraz as the blender. Notes of cherry, cedar and tobacco predominate and the grape's tannins sometimes make the wine tough to drink in its youth.
