Like the town of its name, Paso Creek 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon is as unpretentious as it is robust and boisterous. This is a brawny and ripe, full-bodied, juicy, and intense wine. Not intended for passive palates. And yet there's a sense of refinement — of structural integrity, if you will. Serving up all the bold, in-your-face flavors, and subtle nuances of a serious Cab, sans the serious attitude.
According to Vineyard Manager Paul Kenney, 2005 was an average growing season. That is if your idea of "average" is daily temperatures that can swing from daytime highs in the hundreds to the forties at night. That and the bone-dry soils make growing grapes here a true labor of love. It's rugged duty for viticulturists. But for Cabernet Sauvignon, well, let's just call it character building. |
