2020 Heart of the Vine, Paso Robles

A testament to the adage “What the eye sees, the mind believes”. This deeply pigmented lustrous beauty defines the saying. Such dark colors draw you in to discover a multitude of aromas, flavors, and depths of enjoyment. Cassis, plum, balsam, and Paso Robles rock soils, are all on display in the aromatic profile. Aged in 43% new French oak, the 70% Cabernet Sauvignon takes center stage with its structure, grip, and intense flavor profile, supported by the floral, yet bold expression that is Petit Verdot, adding color, tannin and lifted aromatics. The 15% Malbec completes the picture with its dark fruit flavors and smooth chocolaty finish. This serious, full-bodied wine delivers for fans of power and intensity as a drink now experience, and will evolve in the cellar through 2032.
