Iron & Sand 2021 Paso Robles Cabernet Sauvignon
Winemaker Notes
Dense purple in color, this wine opens with aromas of dark red fruit, blueberry, black cherry, cassis and cola with a dusting of baking spice. The wine is velvety and lush presenting delicious flavors of black cherry and blackberry with undertones of coffee, mocha and a hint of vanilla. The flavors are complemented by lively acidity and fine tannins that lifts the wine suggesting a long life. The finish is long, supple and mouthwatering.
This Paso Robles Cabernet is the perfect match for local Santa Maria style BBQ of tri-tip with salsa, pinquito beans, grilled French bread, and a crisp green salad, or slow-braised short ribs with creamy polenta and roasted mushrooms.
Blend: 86% Cabernet Sauvignon, 11% Petit Verdot, 3% Petite Sirah
Critical Acclaim
91pts James Suckling
This broad and structured red has a super polished texture and delivers generous fruit. It’s medium- to full-bodied and deep, yet it’s well balanced and smooth, with a long finish and fine, dusty tannins.
