This Cabernet Sauvignon opens with heady aromas of black raspberry, cherry, sage, and tobacco leaf. A juicy, mouth filling texture reveals seamless layers of currant, cherry, blueberry, dark plum, and black olive with trailing hints of mocha, mineral, and eucalyptus. Hints of vanilla bean join soft tannins on a smooth, rounded finish.
Ancient Peaks Description
Cabernet Sauvignon is the longtime flagship wine of Ancient Peaks, helping drive the emergence of Paso Robles as a world-class region for this classic Bordeaux variety. The Ancient Peaks Cabernet Sauvignon achieves both ripeness and balance amid one of the region’s coolest, longest growing seasons, all while drawing natural complexity from the vineyard’s uniquely complex soils.
Wine Advocate: 92 Points
The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon, blended with 10% Merlot, 5% Petite Sirah and 2% Cabernet Franc, was matured for 18 months in 30% new French and American oak. It is restrained and pretty with bright, transparent scents of red cherries and currants, dried herbs and tobacco leaves. The medium-bodied palate is silty and seamless with appealing wafts of resinous herbs lingering on the lifted finish.
Wine Enthusiast: 90 Points
Approachable fruit aromas of black currant, cranberry, baking spice and sandalwood show on the nose of this reliable bottling. The palate combines the light red and darker black fruits as well as anise and oregano to amplify the herb factor.
