Cass Rockin' One is an exquisite red wine that showcases the remarkable terroir of Paso Robles. This masterful blend of forty percent Mourvèdre, thirty percent Syrah, fifteen percent Petite Sirah, and fifteen percent Grenache creates a wine that is full-bodied and rich. On the palate, it displays delightful fruit intensity with prominent notes of dark berries and ripe plums, intertwined with hints of spice and earthy undertones. The tannins are notably structured, providing a firm backbone that enhances the wine's depth and complexity. The acidity is bright and lively, balancing the wine beautifully and contributing to a mouthwatering finish. As a vintage from 2009, this wine has evolved gracefully, offering both approachability now and potential for further aging.

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.
