What sets Cabernet Sauvignon apart from other red wine varietals?

Among red wine varietals, Cabernet Sauvignon is distinguished by its intense black fruit flavors, typical cedar and tobacco aromas, and firm tannic structure. Compared to lighter reds like Pinot Noir, Cabernet Sauvignon is known for having a full-bodied character and the ability to age beautifully for many years. The ease with which it can be used both blending and in varietal wines is also a factor in its dominance in the world of wines.
