This medium brick, plum colored Cabernet showcases the varietal. Ripe Cabernet shines with intense black cherry notes in this two-vineyard blend. The palate is Bordeaux in style as the flavors, while concentrated, have a rustic fruit expression favoring dried cherry, cassis and pomegranate notes. The wine finishes with balanced cherry flavors, present acidity and subtle oak notes yielding a light vanilla and cocoa finish.
This elegant and balanced Cab makes a great pairing with meats like steak or roasted lamb, Portobello mushrooms or cheeses like aged cheddar.
Mostly from the west side of Paso Robles-Willow Creek, Templeton Gap, and small amounts of a few other AVAs to add intrigue and complexity to this 100% Cabernet Sauvignon. The complexity is achieved through the blending of different geographical areas, not varietals, in this wine.
