The Big Red Monster Cabernet Sauvignon Paso Robles

Winemaker Notes:  Every good story needs a hero, a villain... and a monster. This savage beast hails from Paso Robles (California’s real wine county). Clocking in at 15% abv, rugged Paso possesses the largest diurnal temperature difference of all California wine-growing regions. Days can reach over 100 degrees and nights can be in the low 30s. Extreme heat forges fruit with dark, bold, monstrously brooding flavors and freezing nights retain a juicy, racing acidity. Slay It.

Blend: 76% Cabernet Sauvignon, 14% Petite Verdot, 10% Petite Sirah

CRITICAL ACCLAIM


Wilfred Wong - "The Big Red Monster Slay It Cabernet Sauvignon Lot: One is rambunctious and persistent. TASTING NOTES: This wine displays dramatic black fruit and pencil lead aromas and flavors. Pair it with a thick and rare slice of prime rib."


Wine Enthusiast - "This widely available bottling, which includes small amounts of Petite Sirah and Petit Verdot, is sure to please anyone seeking a powerful red wine. Clean lines of black currant, crushed slate, light cocoa, char and oregano hit the nose, while the palate amplifies that herbal edge, with rich milk-chocolate and black-fruit flavors. A solid grip adds to the complexity. Editors' Choice."
