One Time Spaceman 2020 Moon River Paso Robles Cabernet Sauvignon

The 2020 Kitfox Vineyards One Time Spaceman “Moon River” Cabernet Sauvignon from Paso Robles is a dramatic, richly styled red that leans all the way into its cosmic persona. Visually, it shimmers with hues of purple, blue, and crimson, conjuring images of a raven’s wing catching twilight. On the nose, it opens with heady aromas of black cherry and warm strawberry pie, underscored by a smoky, savory edge that evokes the atmosphere of a Carolina smokehouse. The palate is unapologetically decadent—loaded with baked blackberry, caramel, and spice cake, then layered with classic Cabernet notes of black currant, violet, espresso, and a silky kiss of milk chocolate. Aged entirely in French oak, the wine boasts plush texture and structured complexity, all wrapped in a 14.8% ABV that carries its weight like velvet. Described by the winery as a “liquid masterpiece of Grand Opera,” it’s designed to be as memorable in narrative as it is in taste. This isn’t a quiet sipper—it’s a showstopper that could anchor a pairing flight with smoked short ribs, mole enchiladas, or a dark chocolate tart with espresso drizzle. If you’re thinking of featuring it, it’ll bring theatrical flair and flavor fireworks in spades
