Wine Profile

Ratings

90? Points. Stephen Tanzer, Nov/Dec 2012. (includes 8% merlot, 7% cabernet franc and 4% malbec): Deep ruby. Ripe plum and cherry on the nose, with suggestions of pipe tobacco and licorice candy. Seamless and sweet, showing a velvety texture to its sappy cherry and dark berry flavors. Closes smooth and long, with very good energy and gentle tannins. The grapes for this stylish cabernet were sourced from vineyards east of Templeton, according to Brian Talley, who added? that most cabernets from such a warm area lack this wine's vivacity.

Vineyard Notes

The 2010 year began with above average rainfall, ending a three year drought in the Paso Robles region. July was one of the coolest on record leading to a late harvest and an exceptionally long growing season. Yields in Paso Robles were average and the grapes had lower sugar levels and perfectly developed flavors with lower alcohols in the finished wines.
