This 100% Cabernet Sauvignon is from Frankel Vineyard’s “Puerta Electrica” block in the El Pomar district of Paso Robles. The aromas are plentiful in their charm, with notes of black-cherry, raisin, plum, currant, and herbal tea. The classic red fruit characteristics are balanced nicely with mineral earthy notes. Green olive and dill bouquets lead the way to a tannic and puckering finish. The wine feels polished in the mouth, while rich notes of dark coffee and smoked cedar, derived from the new barrels, fill the palate. It's a delightful Cabernet, ageable, yet tasting great right now. Best during the years of 2023-2028.
