The vineyard is located in Paso Robles’ Estrella District. The warm Mediterranean climate allows Cabernet Sauvignon to fully ripen, developing prominent black cherry and dark fruit characteristics over a long growing season.
Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve
To craft this classic Central Coast Cabernet Sauvignon, our winemakers layer together fruit from small, family-owned vineyards in five unique sub-appellations: San Antonio Valley, Paso Robles, Hames Valley, Arroyo Seco and San Benito County. The result is a lush, rich and expressive Cabernet Sauvignon, hand crafted from California’s spirited Central Coast.
TASTING NOTES
Vibrant aromas of dark fruit, baked cherry and saddle leather
underscored by notes of caramel. The palate is full-bodied and rich with notes of dark berry, vanilla, mocha and spice. A round mouthfeel backed with a concentrated tannin structure leads to a complex, long finish.

FOR MORE THAN 40 YEARS, WE HAVE BEEN CRAFTING BOLD CABERNET SAUVIGNON ALONG CALIFORNIA’S CENTRAL COAST
Once home to farms and cattle ranches, Paso Robles is a warm expanse of sunbaked, oak-studded hills. Due to its proximity to the Pacific Ocean, vines see consistently hot, dry days with plenty of sunshine, followed by fog and coastal influences that cool the vines down at night.
