Tasting Notes
This balanced and food-friendly Paso Robles Cabernet Sauvignon is proudly made in part
from our Concannon Clones. Enjoy rich aromas and luscious flavors of intense red cherry,
ripe plum and black currant intermingling with hints of cocoa, vanilla and spice.
Winemaker Notes
Paso Robles’ unique climate provides for ideal tannin development as well as aroma and
flavor compounds. Warm sunny mornings that lead to high daytime temperatures allow
for complete ripening, while cool evenings create thickening of the skins. The grapes were
harvested and cold soaked at night to keep the fruit cool and provide additional extraction
of color and tannin. The upright pumpover tanks extract aromatics and allow for softer
tannins producing a fragrant fruit forward wine.
Other Notes
Since 1883, Concannon has been a trailblazer in California wine. Celebrating over 130 years of Cabernet Sauvignon, our winery is home to the acclaimed Concannon Cabernet Sauvignon Clones 7, 8, and 11,
propagated from vines my great-grandfather, James, imported from the renowned Château Margaux in
Bordeaux. Producing some of the best quality fruit, our acclaimed Concannon Clones played a key role
in helping California Cabernet achieve international recognition. Today, an estimated 80% of
California Cabernet is planted with these Concannon Clones.
