PROJECT PASO CABERNET SAUVIGNON 2012

Our Project Paso Cabernet Sauvignon is an excellent example of high quality Paso Robles Cabernet. The nose is multi-layered, with wild, dusty blackberry, hints of jalapeo, leather, and dried mushrooms from Paso's rich, red soils. On the palate, flavors of black cherry, dark plum, and cinnamon-spiked strawberry preserves come together with integrated, mouth-watering acidity. Small amounts of Petite Sirah and Grenache, two other full-bodied red varietals that thrive in Paso Robles, are blended into this wine, adding to the rustic body and earthy flavors. Medium-bodied with moderate tannins, the finish lingers with cherry, tobacco leaf and cedar notes.

ALEXANDER VALLEY VINEYARDS CABERNET SAUVIGNON 2014

The 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon is a classic Alexander Valley wine with medium body, great fruit flavors and polished tannins. Winemaker Kevin Hall added 6% Merlot for structure, a touch of Cabernet Franc for floral notes and Malbec and Petit Verdot for color. There are aromas of dark fruit, blackberry, cherry, cassis, plum, vanilla and a slight cocoa and chocolate note. In the glass there are rich flavors of plum, cherry, cassis, blackberry, spice and chocolate. This is a smooth wine with medium body, nice balance and a long finish.

BIANCHI PASO ROBLES CARBERNET SAUVIGNON

Vintage 2011 was a crazy challenge. It was a shy producing, relatively cool year, later ripening,and with a rot-potential rain in early October. Ah the vagaries of farming. Following the bumper crop of 2010, our Lakeside vines set only a third the amount if fruit in 2011, just 1.3 tons per acre, yielding just one quarter of our final wine blend.For the balance of this bottling we appealed to our favorite Eastern Paso growers, the Plummers, for tonnage of their structured Cab Sauv clones 337 and 191. Our Bianchi 2011 bottling captures all of this, deeper flavors of tobacco, clove, coco, green peppercorn and leather from the barrel-aged Plummer fruit, with hints of dark blackberry and cherry from our clone 8 Estate fruit. These layers of flavors are supported by fine and supple tannins derived from the well matured skins of the late October harvested fruit and 26 months of barrel-age gave ample time for the marriage of grape flavors with spicy French oak, even more layers of flavors.
