Takes a while to open up properly, but then integrates very nicely.

Blend of 90% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Petite Sirah, 4% Merlot & 1% Petit Verdot, deep Ruby with aromas of black fruits and herb spice. On the palate flavors of blackberry and plum with tobacco and herb black pepper spice. Drying big tannins, medium finish with spicy ending.

E: I may even like this more than my favorite (Bonanza).

Wow! Beautiful cocoa notes. Nice rich red that opens well.

This is a weird wine bought from Costco. It’s pretty smooth and definitely not dry. It’s got a different flavor like a butterscotch - caramel. I give it a C+ because it’s got some character but the flavor is just not for me. 2018 vintage After reviewing some of the other reviews maybe I’m picking up the vanilla flavor. Still not my thing.

Yes, it’s National Pinot day but we enjoyed a massive tomahawk steak that seemed to demand a Cab Sauv. This has some blueberry, pepper, leather, and spice on the nose with a medium tannin and medium finish. Nice pairing and good to enjoy more Paso wines.

Fruit forward cab but not overly jammy. Reminds me a lot of 2011 Justin Cabernet Sauvignon. Pleasantly drinkable. Paired nicely with steak and rice pilaf. This bottle was given to me by a local distributor as a sample.

OK. Still has that flabbiness that daunts most Cabernet heavy wines from Paso Robles. All around, a more decent effort than usually comes from the region.

Sweet fruit mid palate with firm, structured tannins and moderate chalkiness. Slightest hint of rubber and toasted oak/vanilla. Structured and sturdy, beastly but elegant.
