Know as the black grape across the winemaking world for making fine red wine worthy of ageing. In Bordeaux, the area with which it is most closely associated, Cabernet as it's generally known is usually blended, chiefly with Merlot and Cabernet Franc. In
some countries, it's often partnered with other red grapes.
Traditional bed mates include Shiraz or Cinsaut, but, since the early 1980s, it has increasingly been partnered with classic varieties of Bordeaux like Merlot, Cabernet Franc and more rarely, Malbec and Petit Verdot.
