Foxglove
Paso Robles Cabernet Sauvignon
At 87.5% Cabernet Sauvignon and 12.5% Petit Verdot, from an average of 21-year-old vines, the 2021 Paso Robles Cabernet Sauvignon is quite a balanced example—the alcohol a mere 13.4 – very polite for a Paso Cab. It tastes of ripe red fruit (plums, cherries, currants); friendly vanilla and baking spice speak to some oak. There’s almost a cola note, too, though, which is super fun. The mouth brings clingy but introverted tannins; you might not think of them unless you are thinking of them, but you notice them hanging on if you do.

Jul 28th, 2024Very impressed with this wine at the price point it’s at. Spicy earthy tones balanced well with big fruit, dry lingering finish

Voluptuous in the glass, with silky tannins and soft contours, it will be impossible to resist upon release. One of the best values in California Cabernet Sauvignon.

The 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon from Foxglove hits the palate with notable depth and intensity. Dark red cherry, plum, mint, spice and leather shape the juicy, resonant finish. Drink this bold Paso Robles Cabernet over the next 2-3 years. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous)
