Vina Robles Description
The fruit for our 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon was selected from three of our estate vineyards in Paso Robles—Creston Valley, Huerhuero, and Bear Valley. Huerhuero Vineyard, in the hilly terrain between the El Pomar and Geneseo Districts, benefits from the moderating Pacific breezes and limiting calcareous subsoils. Creston Valley Vineyard has picture-perfect high terrain, southern exposure, and shallow soils with noticeable granulated limestone. Bear Valley Vineyard is located 14 miles from the Pacific Ocean and has high elevations, which produce small, flavorful berries. All of these vineyards produce Cabernet Sauvignon with an overall balance of expressive flavors and structure.
The wine was aged in French, American and Hungarian oak barrels for added nuances and complexity. After 8 months of aging and extensive blending trials, a bit of Petit Verdot was added to enhance structure. The final blend was then aged in barrels for an additional 12 months to fully integrate before bottling.
Wine Enthusiast: 89 Points
Intense aromas of mulling spices like clove, nutmeg and mace decorate the gooey black fruit on the nose of this bottling. There's a slight tannic edge to the very ripe and spicy palate. -M.K.
