Despite the fact that it’s an unlikely grape to be so well-liked, cabernet sauvignon has been the most popular red wine in the United States for the last 40 years. It is a superb grape variety that has a few attributes that allow it to produce remarkably long-lived red wines that patient people expect will deliver extraordinary charms and can be among the finest older red wines ever made.
Included in this category are the great wines of Bordeaux, many of which are produced from cabernet sauvignon as well as its cousin varieties that add complexity.
