- A. Pinot Noir

Critical Answer & Explanation
Answer: B. Cabernet Sauvignon Explanation: Cabernet Sauvignon is the king of red wines. Its thick skins provide high tannins and deep color, with signature aromas of blackcurrant, mint, and cedar from oak aging. Conversely, Merlot has softer tannins and more pronounced red fruit flavors, while Pinot Noir is a delicate variety with thin skins, resulting in pale color, high acidity, and fresh strawberry and cherry aromas.
