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.
