WINEMAKER’S NOTES:
Embodying the generosity of great Paso Robles Cabernet Sauvignon, this wine offers alluring aromas of raspberry compote, fresh blueberry, and caramel, with notes of sage and sweet baking spices. The blueberry and raspberry notes are echoed on the bright, structured palate, where they mingle with flavors of black currant, sassafras, and cocoa powder that linger throughout a long, luxurious finish.
Blend: 90% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Petite Sirah, 5% Merlot
This shows ripe and generous dark fruit with hints of spices, nut shell and graphite. Rich and plush, but firm and structured, with full body and a chalky texture to the tannins. Quite generous, but solid and well-made.
