Blueberry, cassis, purple flowers, hyacinth, dusty leather, dark berries, nutmeg, faint black licorice, coffee.  Palate is sleek and refined with focused berry fruit, cinnamon, cocoa, mocha notes, coffee bean, finishing on a breezy underlying minty note of freshness. Almost all Paso Robles Cabernet Sauvignon grapes, with a touch from Arroyo Seco AVA and a touch of Petite Sirah as well. Macerated on skins for 2+ weeks, then racked to new French Oak barrels and aged for 12 months prior to bottling. Made by winemaker Jose Ramirez for Ocnautic; it is remarkably refined and elegant compared to the general styles that tend to emerge from this area.
