CABERNET SAUVIGNON
gourmet pairings
The cassis and blueberry
flavors in the Vina Robles
Cabernet Sauvignon lend
themselves beautifully to
a grilled, smoky steak. For
an even more satisfying
experience, add a sauce made
with dried cherries.
tasting notes
This garnet Cabernet Sauvignon has an aroma of cassis,
blueberry, cedar, and anise, with hints of black olives and juniper
berry. It is full-bodied with licorice notes, chewy and chalky
tannins. The fruit for this wine was selected from two of the
estate vineyards in Paso Robles—Huerhuero and Creston Valley.
Both produce Cabernet Sauvignon with an overall balance of
expressive flavors and structure.
winemaker's insight
All the blocks were handpicked and sorted in the early morning
to ensure quality and uniformity of ripeness. Then the fruit was
destemmed and gently crushed into temperature-controlled
stainless-steel tanks. Pump-overs took place regularly to
enhance color and help extract tannins from the skin. After
pressing, the wine was racked into barrels to complete malolactic
fermentation.
