Learn the the differences in a Cabernet Sauvignon with wines from France, Argentina and California.  Plus, Paul explains how a pandemic in France during the 1800's caused this popular grape to spread around the world.

The wines in this episode are:

Raymond Family Classic Cabernet Sauvignon: Deep ruby colour; floral, dark berries - cassis, blackberry, herbal and soft vanilla aromas; medium body; cassis, vanilla and spice flavours with ripe supportive tannins.

Terroir D'Altitude Cabernet Sauvignon: This food-friendly wine was aged for four months in French oak. It's full-bodied and smooth with a long finish. 

La Mascota Cabernet Sauvignon: Black plum, chocolate and currant notes followed by a dry, cedar finish.
