Bold Cabernet Sauvignon from Paso Robles, as you might expect, but one with nuance and structure for aging. Blackberry, cassis, fall spice, gentle oak toast, supple tannins and a blown-out finish that integrates everything even at this young age. I’d cellar this a while. A Platinum Award winner at the 2019 Monterey International Wine Competition.
