This Bordeaux wine grape remains one of the most popular used to make single varietal red wines and blends. As of 2018, Cabernet Sauvignon is the second most widely-grown wine grape in the U.S., coming in second behind Chardonnay.

  1. Chardonnay (w) 106,000 acres (43,000 ha)
  2. Cabernet Sauvignon (r) 101,300 acres (41,000 ha)
  3. Pinot Noir (r) 61,800 acres (25,000 ha)

  8. French Colombard (w) 19,700 (8,000 ha)
