cabernets
Full-bodied red wines
Cabernets is the plural of cabernet, referring to wines made from cabernet grapes—most commonly cabernet sauvignon or cabernet franc.
The term typically appears when comparing vintages or varieties: We sampled several cabernets from Napa Valley.
Cabernet sauvignon produces full-bodied red wines with dark fruit flavors and firm tannins.
