Region: Paso Robles, California

Appearance: A deep, garnet hue with a velvety edge that clings to the glass — a telltale sign this Cab has something to say.

Aroma: Inviting notes of blackberry, cassis, and dark cherry unfold first, followed by hints of cocoa,

cedar, and a whisper of vanilla spice. Take a moment to swirl — you’ll catch that subtle waft of toasted oak that rounds everything out beautifully.

Palate: Bold and structured, yet remarkably smooth. Lush layers of ripe plum and blackcurrant meet espresso and baking spice, framed by well-integrated tannins.

Finish: Long, warm, and elegant with lingering notes of mocha and dark fruit. The kind of finish that makes you pause before your next sip.

Pairing: Think indulgent: braised short ribs, grilled portobello mushrooms, or a classic New York strip with rosemary butter. Or skip dinner entirely and pair it with a cozy evening and good conversation — no judgment here.
