The diverse terroir of the Paso Robles Highlands District allows for a wide array of grape varieties to thrive. Its very hot days and cool nights provide vines an opportunity to develop intense fruit with bold yet balanced flavors and brisk acidity, embodied in this J. Wilkes 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon. With a finish of crushed stone and well-defined tannins, this 92-point bottling is sure to pair perfectly with well-marbled cuts of beef right off the grill or aged hard cheeses.

Tasting Notes: The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon is terrific. Pliant and explosive, with terrific density, the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon packs quite the punch. Super-ripe dark cherry, plum, mocha and spice are all nicely amplified. A touch of American oak adds sweetness. This is sure to be a crowd pleaser.

Tasting Notes: Dark red-fruit aromas are fresh on the nose, with light herbs adding complexity to this wine. Crisp cranberry flavors pop on the palate, where oregano and bay-leaf elements are framed by a decent tannic tension.
