Cabernet Sauvignon is one of the world's most widely recognized red wine grape varities It is grown in nearly every major wine producing countries. 

The classic profile of Cabernet Sauvignon tends to be full bodied wines with high tannins  and noticeable acidity that contributes to the wine's aging potential. In cooler climates, Cabernet Sauvignon tends to produce wines with blackcurrant notes that can be accompanied by green bell pepper notes, mint and cedar which will all become more pronounced as the wine ages. In more moderate climates the blackcurrant notes are often seen with black cherry and black olives notes while in very hot climates the current flavors can veer towards the over-ripe and "jammy" side.
