About the Wine
The 2022 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon is one of the best Paso Robles Cabernets available. Crafted from the same quality fruit as our flagship ISOSCELES blend, and made of 100% cabernet sauvignon grapes, this wine is a Cabernet lover’s dream. This wine is bold and complex with ripe black fruit, sweet spice, and that classic Cabernet mix of savory and herbal characteristics. Its structural texture keeps this wine balanced and fresh from its beginning through its very long, complex finish. It’s delicious on release, but don’t hesitate to let it age for a few years — or even a decade — to see how it evolves. That is, if you can wait.
Tasting Notes
Body
Appearance
Clear and deep ruby in color, lightening at the rim, with light staining in the glass and moderately thick tears.
Aroma
Medium intensity on the nose with rich red plum, blackberry jam, cocoa powder, and savory tea leaf. A vein of earthy minerality brings complexity to juicy fruit and autumn spice. Oak lends warm vanilla, caramel, and allspice.
Palate
Dry and full-bodied with intense, youthful red fruit on the palate. Bing cherry and blackberry notes are layered with leather, espresso, and nutmeg, and the long finish is accented with well-integrated tannin and an element of acidity that keeps the wine from being heavy.
