Both the scion ( Cabernet ) and the rootstock 101-14 are of the vitis genus with in the "Plant Kingdom" Where as Cabernet is vitis vinifera the rootstock is a combination of vitis rupestris and vitis riparia. The rootstock does not produce any wine grapes, but protects the vine from harmful elements in the soil. Because they are of the same genus, they can be grafted, and grow together.
