Sequoia Grove Cabernet Sauvignon

Are you ready for some football?!? After what’s felt like the longest offseason in recorded history, the NFL returns tonight at 8:20 EST, with the Chiefs squaring off against the Texans. Celebrate the return to the gridiron with the Sequoia Grove Cabernet Sauvignon, a big red sure to satisfy your living-room tailgaters. This wine pairs well with all the staples of a parking lot BBQ: brisket, steak, and roasted lamb. You’ll be the Patrick Mahomes of your household with this Cab on hand!

86% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Cabernet Franc, 5% Merlot, 1% Malbec, 1% Petit Verdot
