2021 Fore by Vina Robles Estate Reserve Blend Paso Robles

Winemaker Notes: Dark ruby color. On the nose, cassis and boysenberries with hints of amaretto and dark chocolate. Full-bodied with dark fruits and dark chocolate with a rich chewy finish. 

We have been growing estate fruit for our wines for more than 25 years, and currently own and sustainably farm six Paso Robles vineyards in five diverse sub-districts within the AV A. The range of characteristics offered by this fruit gives us more than ample latitude to make creative blends. The lots were picked and fermented separately in small fermenters before undergoing malolactic fermentation and aging for 20 months in French, Hungarian and American oak barrels. The finished wine is a synergistic blend of three varieties that grow exceptionally well in our Paso Robles estate vineyards. It showcases bold, expressive fruit along with supple yet ageworthy tannins.

Blend: Cabernet Sauvignon 59%, Petite Sirah 30%, Petit Verdot 11%.
