It produces full-bodied wines with high tannins and flavors of dark fruit, cassis, and often a hint of tobacco or cedar. The ABV for Cabernet Sauvignon wines typically ranges from 13.5-15%. Its popularity is due to its structure, complexity, and aging potential, making it a benchmark for high-quality red wines.
