Aged in neutral French Oak for a wine that is Paso fruit-driven with subtly oak nuances. Robust, yet approachable. Never bound by preconceived notions, this Cabernet could only ever be made in Paso Robles, California. Once known for its thermal mineral springs as a rest stop for travelers along El Camino Real, Paso Robles is today known for producing world class wine. Made to defy expectations of a typical Cabernet Sauvignon, Iron + Sand is true Paso.
Tasting Notes:
Dense purple in color, this wine opens with aromas of dark cherries, blackberry preserves and a dusting of coco powder and clove. On the entry, ripe, dark fruit flavors hit the palate before rounding out to earthy, rich chocolate covered cherries complemented by lively acidity and fine tannins that lifts the wine and suggests a long life. The finish is long, supple, and mouthwatering.
