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.”
Blend: 95% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Petite Sirah

Cedar, marjoram, dark chocolate, and blackberry aromas swirl on the nose of this bottling. The palate shows a woody spice note of sandalwood, as black plum and tobacco leaf flavors cling to sticky, still-young tannins.
