Paso Robles Cabernet Sauvignon
- Tasting Notes:
Dark and luscious blackberry, blueberry, and brown sugar roasted plum flavors. Hints of savory black olive, dark chocolate, and molasses. The velvety tannins begin with intensity and swiftly melt away, leaving the palate eager for another taste.
- Region:
Paso Robles
- Vintage:
2022
- Winemaking:
The grapes all originate from two exceptional Adelaida District vineyards: Casagrande Vineyard 43.4%, Hastings Ranch Vineyard 14.5%, and the Margarita Ranch Vineyard 42.1%.
Aged in a mix of new French oak barrels (19%) along with a smaller number of once used French/American hybrid barrels (9%). French neutral barrels were used for the balance. Wine was racked twice during ageing with final blending during the second racking at one year.- Acclaim:
