Cabernet, or more specifically Cabernet Sauvignon, is a type of red wine grape that is often used to make full-bodied, tannic wines. Cabernet is known for its dark color, rich flavors of blackcurrant and other dark fruits, and its ability to age well. It is one of the most widely planted wine grapes in the world, particularly in Bordeaux, France and California, USA. Cabernet is often blended with other grape varieties, such as Merlot and Cabernet Franc, to create complex and nuanced wines.
