Winemaker Christian Roguenant knows a thing or two about Paso Robles fruit after years on California’s Central Coast. Don’t let his affinity for Burgundian varieties deter you from giving this Cabernet a look – he brings us what Paso does best here, with rich ripe fruit tempered by balanced oak toast, vanilla and brown spice. There’s a rustic edge that works well, making it suitable for bold beef preparations. A Platinum Award winner at the 2021 San Diego International Wine & Spirits Challenge.
