Cabernet Sauvignon
Cabernet Sauvignon
Cabernet Sauvignon (pronunciation: /ˌkæbərˈneɪ soʊvɪˈnjoʊn/) is one of the world's most widely recognized red wine grape varieties. It is grown in nearly every major wine producing country among a diverse spectrum of climates from Canada's Okanagan Valley to Lebanon's Bekaa Valley.
Etymology
The name Cabernet Sauvignon is derived from the words 'Cabernet' which is a small grape variety and 'Sauvignon' which is derived from the French word 'sauvage' meaning 'wild'. This could be a reference to the grape variety being a natural cross between Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon Blanc.
