Paso Robles

The Paso Robles AVA covers a wide stretch of country in California’s Central Coast. Home to more than 200 wineries and 40,000 vineyard acres, 60+ varietals. Paso Robles’ ideal climate, location and growing conditions allows Cabernet Sauvignon grapes to linger on the vine until their fullest potential for lush ripeness is achieved. The long growing season of this AVA permits this late-ripening variety ample time to develop not only the superb structure, but also a rich, mouth-filling fleshiness that’s admired by winemakers. Cabernet fruit from Paso Robles is intense and concentrated with fruit-forward aromas and flavors, similar to its northern counterparts, but with riper and softer tannins.
