About This Wine


Devil's Advocate

Cabernet Sauvignon

Devil's Advocate was awarded 90 Points and a Gold Medal at the 2018 Critics Challenge Wine Competition! What do we mean when we talk about a "balanced" wine? Balance is used to describe wines where the fruits, tannins, alcohol, and acidity are working in harmony and not overwhelming any part of your palate. Everyone has tried a wine that is too tannic or too sugary. They aren’t very good! The Devil’s Advocate 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon isn’t like those bad bottles. It’s elegant, with espresso notes playing off of raspberry and dark cherry, and it maintains just the right amount of tannins to leave you wanting more. This wine is juicy without being too heavy. The Devil's Advocate is the definition of a balanced wine that can, and should, be enjoyed again and again.

Wine Region


Central Coast

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.

This balanced bottle is a great blend of dark red fruit and espresso that benefit from mild tannins and just the right amount of acidity. Try pairing it with dark chocolate to accentuate the espresso and raspberry notes. Or with a roasted pork tenderloin to bring out its savory notes.
