Lot 578
2023 Paso Robles Cabernet Sauvignon

Over $60/bottle under the original label

Lot 578 is an ambitious 100% single-vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon. Carved into the Santa Lucia Mountains high above sea level, our source’s vines yield wonderfully concentrated yet balanced fruit, which their winemaker crafts into a bottling that’s unmistakably California but with Bordeaux in its soul. Given the litany of big names in every direction, we’ve agreed to declassify it from Adelaida District to Paso Robles in order to make the deal happen.

Pouring a dense crimson in the glass, the wine opens with aromas of mulberry and dark raspberry layered with pencil shavings, cherries, and savory herbs. The palate is full yet composed, combining ripe fruit depth with freshness and a firm mineral backbone. Fine tannins carry the structure seamlessly, leading to a persistent and evolving finish that shifts from baking spice to subtle toast and lingering red fruits. Classic.
