  This is a crowd-pleasing style of Cabernet that's perfect for the winery's on-site outdoor amphitheater and has approachable black cherry, vanilla and crushed rock aromas. More cherry and dark strawberry juice flavors show on the palate, which is jammy with a touch of baking spi…

  A blend of various estates from the Paso Robles region, this wine shows roasted pork with blackberry hoisin sauce, black rocks and a touch of dill on the nose. Notable tannins provide lasting structure, with flavors of black olive, tobacco ash, peppercorns, dark chocolate and de…

  A good, dry wine that's stuffed with richly ripe flavors of blackberries, cherries and currants. Yet it has a tough astringency, a cut of tannins and acids that makes it brittle and limits immediate reward. Could develop in the bottle, but not much beyond 2012.
