Winery's Notes
"...The vibrant, deep crimson/purple appearance draws you into the perfume-like aromas of cassis, mocha, new leather, lavender, and mint. Collectively compiling the full spectrum of floral, fruit, and herbal aromas to create a complete and compelling bouquet. The suave, polished, and sophisticated mouthfeel is characteristic of both winemaking intents and the fruit-forward nature of the 2022 vintage. Velvety smooth, with wonderfully fresh flavors of wild blueberries, savory fennel, single-origin chocolate, and crème de cassis. All of which is underscored by a bevy of fine-grained tannins that support the many facets of the beautiful and structured wine. Overall, it is a wine of immediate delight with a proven DNA for aging."

"The 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon Willow Creek District is classy, with a bouquet of dusty violet and lavender tones that complement redcurrant and a nuance of rosemary. It is beautifully balanced and silken in feel, with tart red berry fruit elevated by a wave of juicy acidity. Classically dry and gently tannic, the 2022 tapers off with lovely length and a chewy concentration that calls the taster back to the glass for more." -EG, Jun/2025

"This is a serious yet accessible style of Paso Cab. It begins with aromas of fresh, candied cherry and blackberry on the nose. The medium-bodied palate is easygoing with fresh red fruit and familiar red spices." -MK, 12/1/24

"The 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon Tír na nÓg opens with blackcurrant compote, dried leather and fresh herb aromas. The palate combines sturdy, dusty, dark fruit flavors with admirable finesse. While the new wood here could use some integration, this shows great promise, and I look forward to tasting future iterations." -ML, 9/19/24
