“The winery’s flagship grape, Cabernet Sauvignon, also leads the charge for the region itself as a world-class producer of Bordeaux varieties. This one is ripe and balanced, with intuitive acidity unlike that found in any of Paso’s other sub-AVAs. Cedar delivers subtle hints of cocoa and spice while dark cherry gives way to a channel of minerality, black olive, and beetroot. Aged 20 months in French and American oak.”

“A deep blackberry aroma meets with anise and earthy mushroom on the fresh and savory nose. The palate’s delicious black currant and blueberry core is partnered harmoniously with notes of oak and toasted herbs as well as jubilant, balancing acidity.”
