Region: Santa Barbara County, California

Vintage: 2020

Composition: 100% Cabernet Sauvignon

History: The Paso Robles AVA (American Viticultural Region) in San Luis Obispo County has recently become one of the up-and-coming regions in California for the production of Cabernet Sauvignon. The vineyards are at 900-1,600 feet above sea level on well-drained alluvial and sandy loam soils that are ideal for this variety.

Tasting notes:

This wine that spent 19 months in French oak barrels has developed a deep purple color that leads to ample aromas and flavors of black currant, dark chocolate and black cherries. This full-bodied wine is powerful but elegant, and ends with a long, silky finish.
