A special Cabernet from our Hillside Block, with Syrah and Petit Sirah. With a moderate oak flavor, this soft, balanced and very food friendly wine has generous aromas of ripe fruit. While still evolving in the bottle, it's complexity has now "come of age". It is a crowd pleaser.

Pair with steak, braised meats, lamb, mushrooms, aged Havarti cheese, and good company.

2021 vintage coming soon!

Skeleton Canyon- "...not all the skeletons are 4 legged...". Here is a wine with a deep purple color. Note the aromas of chocolate pudding, sassafras, mixed berry, dill and terra cotta, with a satiny, vibrant, fruity, medium-body smooth, medium-length baked berry crumble bars finish with a light oak flavor. A rich and jammy Cabernet with a tasty just-baked vibe. Food Pairings: robust meat and mildly spiced main dishes, potatoes and mushroom dishes, and even roasted Turkey.

Bottled 4-23-21; 45 cases only.... Alc. 14.75%           Cabernet Sauvignon with a blend including Syrah/ Petit Verdot / Petite Sirah.  Please enjoy. 

One of the best vintages for the Paso Robles was the 2019 growing season with heavy winter rains and then through the summer we had moderate weather.  

Bold and full bodied, this elegant Cab from our mature hillside block, best 5 rows, has rich flavors, layers of plum with black cherry and boysenberry, and moderate tannins. There is some smokey leather and dried herbs in the nose, but it is fruit forward with a long finish, balanced and approachable; it "begs for a second glass..."

Pair with steak and potatoes, grilled vegetables, pasta with mushrooms, rice dishes, ... and good conversation. 

Purchase of bottles: Limited to Wine Club members...Our Private Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon is one of our most popular and award-winning wines. These grapes grow on the hillside banks of the dry Estrella Riverbed, where there is a cooler and longer growing season. Complex nuances of red and black fruit with mellowed tannins .....Lush mouthfeel, and gorgeous, silky, long finish. Very food-friendly wine - also wonderful as a wine to sip and enjoy with some great friends and conversation!

Bottled April 2021......intense,complex, and one of Serena's favorites.

APRIL SALE: Enjoy at $35/bottle at check-out (usual price $42).    These grapes, growing steps away from the winery, were hand picked early in the harvest.  The vintage was wetter & cooler, even into the spring.  A large canopy protected these larger sized tight clustered grapes from sunburn.  Note the amaretto cherry flavor, contrasting dried herbal notes and clay minerality.  Only 94 cases with an alcohol of 15.1% - a big wine.

Enjoy now but the wine will continue to age beautifully.  Bottled 5.26.22

Food pairings:  Paella, roast turkey, rosemary garlic pork loin with plum sauce, roast lamb
