Longitude 120 West 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Paso Robles, California

Description

Paso Robles, California is a region that we think has long been underrated. Sitting in the Central Valley, it experiences large diurnal shifts and has incredibly diverse soils. That means that daytime temperatures in the growing season can sometimes reach up to 105 degrees, but Pacific winds sweep in to drop the lows to around 50 degrees. This shift allows the grapes to mature but still retain acidity. This wine bursts with plum and dark sour cherry as well as dark chocolate, cracked black pepper, and cloves. High acidy means that the wine will pair beautifully with rich dishes. We like it with steak, roasted duck, and blue cheese. Judges love it too! It took home 90 points and a Gold Medal from the 2020 Winemaker Challenge, a Silver Medal from the 2020 San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition, and a Silver Medal at the 2019 New Orleans International Wine Competition.
