Broadside Cabernet Sauvignon Paso Robles

VARIETAL: 82% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Merlot, 6% Malbec APPELLATION: Paso Robles (San Juan Creek, Santa Margarita Ranch) VINTAGE: 2019 ALCOHOL: 14.5% TA:0.57 g/100ml PH:3.87 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. TASTING NOTES: Big blast of cedar, cigar box, and blackberry aromas with hints of olive. Jam-packed flavors of plum, black olive, and dark chocolate. Big, dusty tannins support the seamless mouthfeel and a delicate core of acidity stretches out the finish.
