2021 Cabernet Sauvignon
Creston Valley Vineyard
Varietal - Cabernet Sauvignon Limited Estate CollectionGrapes for the Vina Robles Cabernet Sauvignon, Creston Valley Vineyard are grown on a vineyard site about 12 miles southeast of the city of Paso Robles, in the Creston District. Here, our Cabernet Sauvignon benefits from Creston Valley's rolling hills, well-drained soils, and cooler climate. The result is a wine with bold fruit flavors, deep color, and a velvety tannin structure, embodying the distinctive qualities of the vineyard.
We recommend purchasing ice packs when shipping wine during the hot summer months.

About
The fruit chosen for this wine was selected from two small blocks planted with low yielding clones of exceptional Cabernet Sauvignon character. At an elevation of about 1,300 feet, our Creston Valley Vineyard’s southerly exposed hillsides, limiting gravelly calcareous subsoils and low yielding clones all contributed to this wine’s rich color, flavor and mouthfeel with structured ageworthy tannins.
The ripe clusters were picked in the cool, early morning hours, and hand-sorted on our line at the winery. The next step was the optical sorter where all but the most flavorful and richly textured berries were removed. Fermentation took place in fully temperature-controlled small lot tanks fitted with automated equipment that allows us to tailor and perform pump-overs around the clock. Finally, this wine was aged for 20 months in select tight-grained French and Hungarian oak barrels in climate-controlled barrel rooms.
