Iron & Sand Cabernet

Born from the grit of Paso Robles, Iron + Sand is a nostalgic nod to the natural draw of the historic hot springs, Iron Spring and Sand Spring. These springs propelled Paso Robles into a bustling destination known as California’s oldest watering place. Iron and sand are also important elements in the wine’s classic Paso terroir, as the sturdy iron trellising supports the bearing vines and the alluvial, well-drained sandy soils are the perfect match for Cabernet Sauvignon. Sourced with fruit predominantly from the San Miguel sub AVA, known for its huge diurnal shifts, provides a well-balanced acidity profile. The winemaker blends additional Cabernet from the foggy El Pomar district, cooled by salty gusts off the Pacific, to add layers of flavor and structure.

Wine Enthusiast — 92 Points

Dense purple in color, this wine opens with aromas of dark plums, black cherries, freshly picked black berries and raspberries intertwined with hints of graphite and baking spices that frame this fruit-driven wine. Balanced acidity on the palate combines perfectly with rich, chocolate, brambleberry fruit flavors, velvety tannins and a lingering, mouthwatering finish. The subtleties will benefit from cellaring. Being aged in neutral French Oak it is Paso-fruit driven with subtle oak nuances. Robust, yet approachable.
