Paso Robles, Central Coast, California, USA
This single-vineyard Paso Cab puts forth the distinctive terroir of Margarita Vineyard quite well. A focused fruit-and-mineral balance on the nose shows the effect of the uplifted seabed while cigar box, leather and smoke exemplify the two years of oak. The palate is suitably dark for the serious tannic structure it accompanies. Cassis, plum, licorice and a long, fine finish are a delight. Well worth the money. Well worth much more.

Nov 10th, 2016Nice cab. Dry black fruit with tobacco. A bit of acidity. I've had better at this $19 price point.

Oct 23rd, 2016Full mouthfeel and tannins. Good dryness and acidity that paired great with bold flavorful food. Stellar value buy.

Really well balanced for a warm climate Cali Cab. Plenty of acidity to balance out the ripe fruit. Not much complexity here, but a trustworthy crowd-pleaser that is still food friendly. Not bad at all for under $20.
