Episode 19 – Cabernet Sauvignon Taste Off – Chasing Lions, Maroon and Chateau Souverain

Cabernet Sauvignon is one of the noted six noble grapes and it’s the love child of Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon Blanc. And why are we talking about this? Cabernet Sauvignon Day is Thursday, September 3, and in this episode, Shelley and Phil will taste through three different Cabs, with much different price points. All are from California and all are in honor of Cabernet Sauvignon Day! Grab one (or more) and enjoy! It’s Wine Time!

#1 2018 Chasing Lions Cabernet Sauvignon

#2 2014 Maroon Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon

#3 2018 Chateau Souverain Cabernet Sauvignon
