Mission 5

2012 Paso Robles Cabernet Sauvignon

The Tolosa Mission 5 is an exquisite expression of Cabernet Sauvignon hailing from the renowned Paso Robles region, known for its diverse terroir and ideal climate for grape growing. This 2012 vintage showcases a deep ruby hue that invites you to explore its enticing aromas. On the palate, it presents a full-bodied character, perfectly balanced with high acidity that brightens each sip. The tannins are notably firm, providing a structured mouthfeel that adds depth to the wine. Rich notes of dark fruits, such as blackberry and black currant, emerge, accompanied by subtle hints of spice and oak, creating a delightful complexity. This wine is wonderfully dry, allowing its fruit intensity to shine through while leaving a lasting impression on the palate. Tolosa Mission 5 is a remarkable companion for hearty dishes, and its age has only enhanced its charm and elegance.

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.
