2022 Paso Robles Cabernet Sauvignon

The individual lots for this wine spent months aging separately in French Oak, before Winemaker Abigail Estrada hand-selected the final blend. The result is richness yet restraint — allowing this Cabernet to be paired with an array of cuisines or simply enjoyed on its own. On the nose, there are lovely aromas of Satsuma plum, black cherry, and subtle graphite from Paso Robles’ mineral-rich soils. On the palate, you'll find flavors of ripe red cherry, mixed berry pie, and Tahitian vanilla. The finish is smooth with well-integrated tannins. It’s opulent, richly textured, and beautifully balanced.

Vintage: 2022

Varietal: Cabernet Sauvignon

AVA: Paso Robles

  • Sourced from four distinct sub-districts with unique elevations, climates, and soils:
    ESTRELLA VINEYARD, ESTRELLA DISTRICT – Hot days and moderate evenings foster ripe fruit flavors and well-developed phenolics.

  • EL POMAR DISTRICT – Near the Templeton Gap, cool marine air allows grapes to maintain acidity and develop complexity over a prolonged growing season.

  • GENESEO DISTRICT – The warmer climate ensures tannins fully mature by harvest, resulting in powerful wines.

  • SAN MIGUEL DISTRICT – Characterized by limestone soils which imparts a distinct minerality.

    "Clean lines of cherry, cinnamon and sandalwood show on the nose of this bottling from the Pey family of wines. Ample tannins show on the palate, where fresh red-fruit flavors lightly spiced with mace make for an easygoing sip."

    "... grapes sourced from several of Paso's sub AVAs. [Winemaker Abigail Estrada] blended in some Petite Sirah, Merlot, and Syrah and it distinguishes itself with a lower (for Paso) ABV of 13.9 percent. It's ripe and ready, chalky and energetic. Plum, black currant, and rich vanilla create abundant character, while supple tannins are inviting and luxurious."
