Cabernet Sauvignon is a full-bodied red wine grape variety known for its high tannins and aging potential. The term combines two grape names, Cabernet (from French) and Sauvignon (from a secondary grape lineage), and it refers to the resulting wine produced from blending or single-varietal fermentation. It is widely grown in Bordeaux and many New World regions, often blended with Merlot or Petit Verdot to balance structure.
