A solid example of Paso Robles’ potential for fruit-driven Cabernet Sauvignon. Lively blackberry, vanilla, raspberry and plum are joined by cocoa and spice in both aroma and flavor profiles, with a long finish pushed by bright acidity and a supple grip. It’s a delight on its own, or will pair well with a range of meat dishes, from chicken to bison and everything in between. Made by Aaron Pott.
