BLEND: 76% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Petit Verdot, 7% Merlot, 5% Lagrein, 2% Malbec. WINEMAKER NOTES: The vast majority of this wine hails from Blocks 42 and 40 up in the Truesdale Vineyard, grown alongside grapes used by other world-class wineries. The Merlot and Malbec come from the famed Santa Margarita Ranch on the southern border of Paso Robles. MATURATION: The wines spent 18 months in almost 40% new French and American oak. This Paso Robles Cabernet Sauvignon exhibits attractive aromas of ripe strawberry and red cherry, framed by a touch of oak. It's supple and open-knit on the palate, with a juicy core of fruit and light structuring tannins, concluding with a long finish.
