Savant

2012 Paso Robles Cabernet, Petite Sirah, Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah

The Justin Savant from the renowned Paso Robles region is a captivating red wine that expertly blends Cabernet, Petite Sirah, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Syrah. With a richly colored hue that hints at its depth, this 2012 vintage showcases a medium-bodied character that is both approachable and robust. The acidity is pleasantly bright, providing a refreshing backdrop to the concentrated fruit flavors that leap from the glass. Notes of dark berry fruits, blackberry, and plum are complemented by subtle hints of spice and oak, creating a harmonious profile that lingers on the palate. Tannins are notably structured yet refined, offering a firm foundation without overpowering the wine's elegance. This engaging blend is vinified with an intentional balance, making it a delightful choice for both casual gatherings and more formal occasions, perfectly suited for food pairing or savoring on its own.

California's Central Coast might be a bit quieter than Napa or Sonoma to the north, but this lesser-known region produces many world-class wines. Enjoying incredible terroir along its vast 280-mile stretch—from San Francisco Bay to Santa Barbara—Central Coast wines are increasingly in demand. Its position between the Pacific Coast Ranges and the Southern Coast Ranges is key to its quality, with many cool-climate AVAs offering elegant Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Syrah and Merlot. In the hotter parts of the Central Coast, away from the coastal fogs and cold mountain slopes, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Syrah, Grenache and Mourvèdre are exceptional.
