“It’s always a pleasure to find a Paso Robles Cabernet that strikes a balance between decadence and freshness, built on a spine of good acidity. That freshness, particularly when served at cellar temperature around 57 degrees, makes for an easy-drinking experience—and this wine delivers exactly that. Dark berry fruit, graphite, earth and wet river stone notes weave together over supple, polished tannins to create a bright and effusively delicious expression from this California AVA. Chocolate-covered figs and spiced up plum notes add further intrigue.”
