Cabernet Sauvignon
Use Cabernet Sauvignon to teach structure: high tannin, high acidity, and black fruit across classic vs warm climates.
Notes
Anchor Left Bank Bordeaux and key New World regions here – focus on oak, blending partners (Merlot), and ageing potential rather than exhaustive sub-regions.
