8. Cabernet Sauvignon

Highly regarded throughout the world, this king of red grapes is known for producing big, complex wines that can age well. In Bordeaux, the grap has long been blended with Cabernet Franc and Merlot, but in Napa Valley and Sonoma County it often stands alone. With its great intensity of flavor, full body and affinity for oak aging, this grape has the potential to make dark, purple wines of stamina and depth.
