Viticulture

Gunsight Rock Cabernet Sauvignon is sourced from the east side of the Paso Robles appellation, just outside the town of Shandon. These vines get a lot of sunlight and good heat next to an abandoned river bed, the result is a rich balanced Cabernet Sauvignon. With a greater day-to-night temperature swing than most other appellations in California, distinct microclimates, diverse soils and a long growing season, Paso Robles is a unique wine region blessed with optimal growing conditions

Terroir

These are primarily bedrock derived soils from weathered granite, older marine sedimentary rocks, volcanic rocks and younger marine sedimentary rocks of the Miocene age Monterey Formation featuring calcareous shales, sandstone or mudstone.

Tasting Note

Aromas of dark cherry, ripe plum, blueberry and notes of vanilla. A medium-bodied wine with flavors of cassis, black currant and anise spice. The mouth coating palate offers smooth, silky tannins with good structure and a flavorful, lingering finish.
