A true expression of Paso Robles, this cab has enticing aromas of fresh black cherry and a slight smokiness that fills your glass. On the palate, flavors evolve with vanilla foam, ripe dark fruit, roasted coffee & nuances of spice. Structured and full bodied, this crowd-pleasing cab has become legendary for its soft supple tannins. Try the Cab with Filet Mignon or a velvety Chocolate Mousse.”
