Paso Robles Cabernet Sauvignon

2006 Paso Robles Cabernet Sauvignon

The Castle Rock Paso Robles Cabernet Sauvignon from the 2006 vintage presents a captivating deep red hue, indicative of its rich character. This full-bodied wine showcases an impressive complexity with a vibrant acidity that dances on the palate, providing a refreshing counterpoint to its bold fruit intensity. The tannins are notably structured, offering a firm yet pleasing mouthfeel that enhances the wine's longevity. Classic notes of dark fruits, such as blackberry and blackcurrant, intertwine with subtle hints of vanilla and spice, creating an inviting bouquet. This wine is exquisitely balanced and demonstrates an off-dry profile, making it a splendid choice for pairing with hearty dishes or enjoying on its own.

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.
