The king of red grapes — blackcurrant, cedar and a firm, age-worthy grip.
A natural crossing of Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon Blanc, Cabernet Sauvignon is the backbone of Left Bank Bordeaux and the world's most planted premium red. Thick skins give deep colour, high tannin and the structure to age for decades.
