Item Description

The Cabernet Sauvignon fruit comes from four distinct blocks at Margarita Vineyard. At Block 50, a mixture of shale and rocky alluvium soils promotes naturally low vigor for the development of dark, intensely flavored fruit. The soils are less rocky at nearby Block 49, where the flavors lean more toward the red fruit spectrum. At Block 11, Block 14 and Block 15, ancient sea bed soils and cooler growing conditions yield fruit with earthier structure and firmer tannins. The qualities of these blocks combine to bring dimension and nuance to the final blend. Margarita Vineyard stands alone as the southernmost vineyard in the Paso Robles region, nestled into the rugged Santa Lucia Mountain range just 14 miles from the Pacific Ocean in the new Santa Margarita Ranch AVA. The mountain peaks act as a gateway for cool marine air, resulting in an extended growing season that yields fruit with uncommon depth and structure. The peaks are also testaments to the tectonic forces that created Margarita Vineyard’s rare diversity of soils, ultimately fostering natural complexity in our wines.

Item Special Note

The 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon presents dark fruit aromas of black cherry and cassis with suggestions of black olive, pencil shaving and tobacco leaf. A broad, mouthfilling texture unfolds with flavors of red cherry, currant, blackberry and kirsch. Lingering notes of cedar, anise and clove spice are interwoven into a juicy, lively finish.

The juicy expansiveness of the 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon is a perfect match for richly textured dishes, including beef tenderloin with gorgonzola butter, pasta with lamb ragu, oven-roasted eggplant, and cedar plank-grilled ribeye steak.
