The answer is:
D) Cabernet Sauvignon
Yes, Cabernet Sauvignon is the big daddy of all the red wines. They don’t come any bigger. Another tidbit about Cabs: they almost always have oak on it, which is vital! The oak smoothes things out, connects the dots, so to speak. Also, Cabs have great structure and aging potential.
