The third release of Austin Cabernet Sauvignon remains focused on our goal to produce a wine true to ‘Paso Robles’. On the nose savory aromas intertwine with rich dark fruit nuances. On the palate, flavors evolve into layers of juicy blackberry, spicy nutmeg, toasted coffee and fresh vanilla bean. This medium to full bodied wine is finished with refined tannins and a distinguishable zing of acid to balance.
We source from Paso Robles vineyards located mainly on the east side of the appellation. They all have one thing in common: Gravely-to-loamy soils with calcareous (ancient seabed) deposits. This helps with quality consistency and makes for a true “Paso” flavor profile. The Paso Robles AVA districts we liked most for this blend are Creston, Estrella and San Juan, which is where the bulk of the vineyards are located.
