Highlights
  • Varietal percentages: 100% Cabernet Sauvignon
  • Vineyard(s): Quinn West, and To the Moon
  • Vineyard Notes: The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon comes predominantly from our two Willow Creek District estates—Quinn West and To the Moon, representing 81 percent of the final blend. The Willow Creek District is a coveted calcareous-rich terroir in the westside coastal mountains of Paso Robles. Here, sloping terrain and cooler tem- peratures produce Cabernet Sauvignon with impressive structure and varietal character. With the 2021 vintage, we complemented our estate fruit with grapes from the eastside El Pomar District, which benefits from cooling marine breezes that flow inland through the Templeton Gap, a notch in the coastal mountains. The El Pomar fruit layers in riper flavors and textures that add dimension to the finished wine.

Winemaker Notes
Under the direction of winemakers James Schreiner and Chris Rougeot, each lot underwent a three to four-day cold soak for gentle extraction. This was followed by warm fermentations at an average of 88 to 90 degrees to draw out further extraction of color and tannin. At the conclusion of fermentation, the free-run juice was selected to ensure a pure, full mouthfeel. After settling, the free-run lots were racked to 50-percent new French oak barrels, where they were aged for six months prior to blending. The final blend was then returned to barrels for 10 additional months of maturation and integration.
