Ancient Peaks brings us another solid value from the 2014 vintage in this bold, black fruit driven Cabernet from Paso Robles’ southernmost sub-AVA. It’s long on rich blackberry and oak spice, with a light brown sugar note adding interest without intruding on the dry style. Firm grip extends the finish and brings a chocolate note into play. Try this with a juicy steak or medium strength cheeses.
