Description

With aromas of black fruit and spice, this smooth Cabernet Sauvignon is made with the same care as the highest quality Bordeaux-style wines. Grapes are hand-picked and sorted, and the unique climate of Paso Robles adds to the character of this exceptional wine.

Style: Dry, Medium/Full bodied red wine

Appearance: Dark purple-ruby core with lighter rim and moderately stained, pronounced tears forming on the glass.

Aroma: Ripe black and red cherry, blackcurrant and berry fruit, baking spice and sweet tobacco with red and black licorice, oak, cocoa and subtle camphor notes.

Palate: Dry, nearly full bodied, with ripe black cherry, cassis and red fruit, baking spice and oak accents on entry with sustained ripe primary and mostly black fruit, dried autumn leaf, cocoa and a pleasant suggestion of camphor on the mid-palate into the finish. The finish is fresh and moderately long, showing lingering cherry and berry notes with oak and barrel spice nicely supported by fine, balanced tannins.

Food Pairings: This is a great go-to red for many pairings ranging from a picnic of artisanal cheese and charcuterie, a Philly cheese steak sandwich, to a classic Entrecôte (steak) Bordelaise with pommes frites.
