Belnavis, Paso Robles (Central Coast, California) Cabernet Sauvignon 2021

Oct 18, 2023

By Rich Cook

 Here is a nicely dialed-in Cabernet Sauvignon that utilizes a dollop of Cabernet Franc to advantage, adding a subtle but not shy green character that lifts the fruit — it’s rare to find a Paso Robles wine that carries such refined rusticity.  It is a nod to area legacy producers that made everyone in the business hungry for a piece of the action in the region, delivering blackberry, currants and peppery spice.  A supple grip extends the fully integrated finish.  Drink or hold.  Contains 5% Cabernet Franc.
