This medium plum colored Paso Robles Cabernet expresses violets and cassis aromas with ripe black cherry. The palate is supple with fleshy and leathery tones unfolding with distinct ripe black cherry, huckleberry, dark roast coffee bean and integrated vanilla. The finish is full with silky tannins from the French oak as well as the concentrated mouthfeel of low yielding Paso Robles Cab grapes used to make this fine wine.

While excellent on its own this wine pairs well with any grilled steak topped with sautéed wild mushrooms and best with roasted fingerling potatoes and sautéed baby spinach. We’ve had this with Black Forrest cake and Cuban cigars with great delight.
