The 2021 Brea Cabernet hails from the Margarita Vineyard in Paso Robles, marking its 7th vintage. Situated at 1,000 feet elevation and about 15 miles from the Pacific Ocean, this cooler site offers a unique growing environment for Cabernet compared to the typical Paso climate. The maritime influence allows the grapes to ripen slowly, avoiding the overripe characteristics often found in warmer parts of Paso.
The result is a Cabernet that showcases pure varietal flavors. This wine is not over-the-top; rather, it offers a more reserved, dare I say delicate expression of Cabernet Sauvignon. In your glass, you'll find perfectly ripe blackberry and cassis, plum and blueberry, with notes of tobacco and cacao, all wrapped with a touch of earth and spice. The mild tannins add a slightly rough edge, making this Cabernet Sauvignon refreshing, food-friendly, and well-priced.
