Vina Robles Estate Cabernet Sauvignon

The fruit for our 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon was selected from two of our estate vineyards in Paso Robles – Huerhuero and Creston Valley. Huerhuero Vineyard in the hilly terrain between the El Pomar and Geneseo Districts benefits from the moderating Pacific breezes that blow through the Templeton Gap in the afternoon as well as its limiting calcareous subsoils. Creston Valley Vineyard has picture perfect high terrain southern exposure and shallow soils with noticeable granulated limestone. Both of these vineyards produce Cabernet Sauvignon with an overall balance of expressive flavors and structure. All the grapes were handpicked and sorted in the early morning to ensure quality and uniformity of ripeness. Afterwards the fruit was destemmed and gently crushed into temperature controlled stainless steel tanks. Pumpovers took place regularly to enhance color and help extract tannins from the skin. After pressing the wine was racked into barrels to complete malolactic fermentation. Wh
