Our 2022 Paso Robles Cabernet, predominantly Cabernet Sauvignon with a touch of Merlot, opens with rich aromas of blackcurrant, dark cherry, and a hint of baking spice, complemented by subtle earthy undertones. On the palate, layers of ripe blackberry, plum, and a touch of dark chocolate unfold, softened by Merlot’s influence, which adds a smooth, rounded texture. The tannins are firm yet polished, balancing the wine’s medium-to-full body, and leading into a long, velvety finish with lingering notes of cedar, vanilla, and a trace of sweet tobacco.
