Bright cherry and cassis, followed by savory bay leaf and espresso notes swirl from the glass. Rich fruit drives the palate, balanced with delicate spice, minerality, and structure persisting on the long, dry finish. Appellation: Paso Robles Sub AVA: Santa Margarita Ranch, Estrella & San Juan Creek Winemaker Notes: A wet winter helped fill up reservoirs and bring new life to cover crops, and then to the vines. Even temperatures throughout the growing season wrapped up in an earlier than average harvest.
