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.

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.
