Lady of the Mandrake, Cabernet Sauvignon, Paso Robles, California 2022

Coming primarily from a single vineyard in the the Paso Robles Estrella District at an elevation of just under 1,000 feet, this wine was aged for 18 months sur-lie in French oak, and American oak barrels.

The wine is dark, with a rich aromatic bouquet of black cherry, cassis, and sandalwood. The palate is soft and delicious, with a backbone of vibrant acidity and notes of blackberry, plum, cigar box, and marzipan. It finishes with a hint of cocoa powder and clove.
