Winemaker Notes

This Cabernet Sauvignon is from the Central Coast's Paso Robles AVA, which has enjoyed a well-deserved explosion in popularity in recent vintages. Located near the Pacific Ocean, Paso Robles boasts the largest diurnal range of any wine region in CA. This swing between daytime and nighttime temperatures is due to cool marine air flowing east through the Templeton Gap and south along the Salinas River from the Monterey Bay. The result is Cabernet Sauvignon with rich fruit, full bodies, and silky tannins, but with a firm acid backbone.
