Even as wine trends come and go, Cabernet Sauvignon endures in our collective wine consciousness. Born in Bordeaux, this grape made its name as the dominant grape in the region’s left bank, but now it’s one of the most planted varieties on the planet.
Outside of its home in France — where it’s known for playing a role in blends — many countries showcase Cabernet Sauvignon in varietal and single-vineyard offerings. Certain regions in the U.S., Australia, and beyond, are now known for their unique expressions of this grape. Even if there’s a little Petit Verdot or Merlot blended in, these wines are unequivocally Cabernet Sauvignon.
We tasted a wide range of Cabs this year, and (unsurprisingly) Napa Valley came out on top as the most listed. But we were also impressed with some stunning examples from Australia and Washington State. Here are 30 of the best Cabernet Sauvignons of 2024.

This beautiful bottle is from Margaret River in Western Australia. This region is frequently compared to Bordeaux for its maritime climate, ocean influence, and ability to produce elegant Cabernet Sauvignon. This wine has a lean and earthy nose with subtle root vegetable notes that bring complexity. The palate is welcoming with soft tannins and bright fruit balanced by vibrant acidity.
