Cabernet sauvignon is the powerhouse of red grapes. This thick-skinned superstar dominates many winemaking regions, and its impressive levels of acid and tannins give it astounding longevity.

Across the world over, wine producers have also embraced the art of creating cabernet blends.

This process involves mixing the wine with other complementary grapes, and the results often trump the original.

The process of developing successfully balanced cabernet blends is hardly an easy undertaking. The spicy notes and fruity overtones provide a challenging foundation.

In the most famous cabernet-making region, Bordeaux, the grape is most frequently blended with malbec, cabernet franc, merlot, or petit verdot grapes.

Italy has recently begun creating blends with their favored red wine, sangiovese.

Spain produces exquisite cabernet blends with tempranillo, and in Australia, the most popular mix involves shiraz.

Although slow to join the mixing brigade, California producers are now offering propriety reds so divine, they are trumping the single grape creations.
