2003 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve

Malbec
|
2003 Malbec Reserve
Paso Robles
It may be the “forgotten varietal of Bordeaux,” but Malbec is ideal if you’re thirsting for something dark, bold and just a little bit hedonistic that adeptly balances fruit ... moreand oak flavors. Our Malbec is a dark, rich, full-bodied wine with medium tannins, aromas of black fruits, and a touch of chocolate in the finish.

Petit Verdot
|
2003 Petit Verdot Reserve
Paso Robles
The Petit Verdot grape has always been the understudy to the more famous Bordeaux varietals, Cabernet and Merlot. The traditional purpose for this varietal is for blending with oth ... moreer wines to give them better color and tannins. While we too are guilty of this practice, we have made a conscious effort to give Petit Verdot some recognition. The color is dark with aromas of black cherry and pepper. The mouth feel is full bodied, with firm tannins and silky finish. For those who like, big youthful red wines, grab some venison, buffalo or a tri-tip steak off a Santa Maria grill and enjoy.

Petite Sirah
|
2004 Estate Petite Sirah
Paso Robles
Our Petite Sirah comes from some of the oldest plantings in the region. The wine has full tannins, rich dark fruit of black plums with spice flavors of black pepper, brown sugar a ... morend vanilla, and a long lingering full flavored finish.

Cuvee
|
2004 Estate Cuvée
Paso Robles
The traditional varietals of the Rhône region, Syrah and Grenache were the inspiration. We then added to the allure by blending with our dark, opulent, old vine Petite Sirah to c ... morereate the Estate Cuvée. Spicy fruit notes from the Grenache add to the nose and mouth, Syrah adds body, meat and tar aromas. The Petite Sirah contributes deep purple and red hues and a firm tannin backbone for textural length and extended aging.
