Barrel Burner Cabernet Sauvignon 2022

A bold, robust Paso Robles Cabernet Sauvignon showing a deep ruby hue. Influenced by its distinctive oak aging, it opens with rich aromas of vanilla, caramel, toffee, and warm baking spices. The palate is full-bodied and expressive, layering intense dark cherry and brambly blackberry flavors over balanced, front-forward tannins and a smoky, lingering finish.

Food Pairing: Pairs with garlic-butter basted ribeye steak, slow-braised pork belly, pan-seared venison, or rich dishes featuring sharp cheddar cheese.

The bourbon-barrel treatment is rather hidden until the finish of this bottling. The nose is quite herbal, with wet thyme and marjoram aromas spicing up the cranberry core. Those same herbs are sprinkled throughout the cranberry sauce-soaked palate, with just a hint of warmth on the finish
