Cabernet Sauvignon is the world’s most popular red wine grape, originating in the Bordeaux region of France. The rich, red and black fruit flavors and varying levels of tannin content make it a perfect partner to rich grilled meats, peppery sauces, and dishes with full flavor. Many styles of Cabernet Sauvignon exist today, ranging from sumptuous and fruity to dense, tannic and powerful, while others are savory and smoky. It all depends on where the Cabernet Sauvignon grows and how it’s made into wine. Most famously in Bordeaux, France, and Northern California, but also Chile and Australia in the southern hemisphere, and China, Italy and Washington State in the north.
