A Cabernet Sauvignon is a bold and structured red wine known for its rich flavors and firm tannins. Typically medium to full-bodied, these wines often showcase deep black fruit notes, like blackcurrant and blackberry, complemented by layers of oak that add complexity and depth. The oak aging often brings subtle hints of vanilla, spice, and toast, which balance the fruit-forward profile. Cabernet Sauvignon is celebrated for its versatility and its ability to age gracefully, making it a popular choice for wine enthusiasts. This wine pairs well with hearty dishes or can be enjoyed on its own for its robust and refined character.
