Tasting Notes
The 2023 vintage makes an immediate statement with deep purple hues and heady aromas of baking spice, strawberry jam, cherry pie, coffee and chocolate. A full-bodied mouthfeel is flush with flavors of fresh bramble berry, cherry cola and dark plum, all concluding with integrated acidity and fine tannins that promise excellent aging potential.Technical Information

Vintage
The 2023 growing season was preceded by ample winter rainfall that ultimately doubled the annual average in Paso Robles. The long winter and abundant precipitation led to a late bud break followed by moderate summer temperatures. These conditions allowed for a long hang time, with harvest starting a few weeks later than typical. Finally, October brought a series of warm days that allowed for a perfect alignment of physiological and phenolic ripeness. Overall, the temperature pattern was similar to Bordeaux, but without any rain during the harvest months. The resulting 2023 vintage combines freshness and natural acidity with optimal flavor development and phenolic maturity.Vineyard
The Paso Robles AVA spans many diverse terroirs with the common benefit of a moderating coastal influence. Warm days are followed by cool marine breezes, creating diurnal temperature swings of up to 50 degrees during the summer growing season. Sustainable farming practices, deficit irrigation and high-density vine plantings combine to foster grapes with natural quality and structure. The fruit is hand harvested at peak physiological ripeness to ensure that it reaches the winery in perfect condition.
