cabernet

Dry red wine

Cabernet is a grape variety used to make red wine, or the wine itself.

Cabernet sauvignon is the most widely planted, producing full-bodied wines with dark fruit flavors and firm tannins.

Cabernet franc, one of its parent grapes, yields lighter, more herbaceous wines.

We ordered a bottle of cabernet with dinner.
