2021 Paso Robles Cabernet Sauvignon
Deep plum red with rich and complex aromas. Layers of ripe blackberry fruit, mocha, and warm vanilla spice with subtle hints of nutmeg. The palate is bold with notes of cherry pie, coffee and a rich warm and spicy oak finish.
James MacPhail's Notes
The Paso Robles Estrella District consists of almost 67,000 acres of valley floor and floodplain, with star-like ridgelines and the Estrella River running through the region. Warm days are tempered by maritime breezes and downslope winds. Alluvial soils ranging from sandy loams to clay loams provide an ideal environment for cultivating high-quality wine grapes, particularly Cabernet, standing out as one of Paso Robles’ premier regions.
