“My family’s original quest was to craft ‘textbook’ expressions of varietal and appellation. For nearly two decades, we’ve fulfilled that vision - making exceptional, while approachable Cabernet Sauvignon that truly represents the best a region has to offer. To continue that commitment, we’ve traveled to Paso Robles situated in Central California. Cabernet grown in this appellation has beautiful concentration and depth due to the warm climate, while fruit still exhibits freshness as a result of the region’s unique terroir.”

Tasting notes

The 2023 growing season in Paso Robles was extended due to the wet winter and cool spring weather, allowing extra hang time for fruit to develop flavor, without sacrificing acidity. The resulting wine shows beautiful complexity and depth, with concentrated fruit flavors including dark cherry, blackberry, and cassis. Aging in French oak deepens our flavor profile, contributing to the tobacco and spice notes. The structure is firm but approachable, providing a fine backbone for the rich fruit.

Production
Terroir

PASO ROBLES AVA
Sourced from four distinct sub-districts with unique elevations, climates, and soils:

ESTRELLA VINEYARD, ESTRELLA DISTRICT – Hot days and moderate evenings foster ripe fruit flavors and well-developed phenolics.
EL POMAR DISTRICT – Near the Templeton Gap, cool marine air allows grapes to maintain acidity and develop complexity over a prolonged growing season.
GENESEO DISTRICT – The warmer climate ensures tannins fully mature by harvest, resulting in powerful wines.
SAN MIGUEL DISTRICT – Characterized by limestone soils which imparts a distinct minerality.
