Sharp's Hill Vineyards Cuvee Rouge is a captivating blend that showcases the rich diversity of Paso Robles. Composed primarily of Cabernet Sauvignon, with a hearty contribution of Merlot and a touch of Petit Verdot, this wine presents a deep ruby hue that hints at its intensity.

The palate reveals a medium to full-bodied profile, marked by graceful acidity that balances the lush fruitiness, delivering a mouthwatering experience. Well-integrated tannins provide structure and longevity, making it an exceptional choice for food pairings or contemplation. This wine is dry yet sumptuous, ensuring a delightful finish that lingers delightfully.

Region:


Paso Robles

California's fastest-growing wine region is quickly gaining an international reputation for its innovative and boundary-breaking wines. Located halfway between LA and San Francisco, the Paso Robles AVA in San Luis Obispo County has two main zones. The eastern side has a hot and sunny climate with deep, rich soils producing plush, fruity wines with sweet ripe flavors. To the west, the cooling influence of the Pacific brings a zingy backbone to rich Zinfandel and Rhône favorites like Syrah and Viognier. Italian varietals like Sangiovese and Nebbiolo are also favorites of Paso Robles grape growers and wine drinkers.
