cabernet sauvignon contends for the title of the greatest red wine grape of the world, the benchmark vine of Bordeaux and California. Adaptable to various growing conditions, its sublime blackcurrant, cedar and herbal qualities more than compensate for its low yield and late ripeness. Cabernet Sauvignon very small, thick-skinned berries provide a high ratio of solids to juice, resulting in wines of deep color, extract and tannin. The vine was first identified in France in 1736 as the "Vidure" for the hard wood of its stalk ("dure" = hard; "vigne" = vine). In 1996, plant geneticist Carole Meredith concluded research at the University of California at Davis which uncovered Cabernet Sauvignon parentage.
