Cabernet Sauvignon is one of the most popular and recognized red wine grape varieties in the world. Some of the best red wines are made from this grape. The grapes are small, tough and red and need slightly warm conditions to mature. The Cabernet Sauvignon wine which is made from these grapes tastes like cedar and blackberries. The grape contains high level of tannin which makes a very good red wine specially when aged properly (up to 10 years). The grape is very dominant in the Bordeaux region of France where it is usually blended with Merlot and Cabernet Franc. Apart from Bordeaux it is widely grown in almost all wine producing regions of the world like California, Italy, Chile, Australia, etc. The grape is also known as Sauvignon Rouge, Vidure and Petit Cabernet in some regions of the world.
