Lot 528
2023 Paso Robles Cabernet Sauvignon

Over $60/bottle under the original label

Lot 528 is an estate-grown, 100% single-vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon from a plot located high up in one of the most coveted enclaves in the region, artfully crafted by a very acclaimed winemaker. A local artisan with decades of experience, his innate understanding of the area's nuances (coupled with a marvelous vintage) has resulted in a wine that wears its power with immense grace.

On the pour, this wine reveals a deep, concentrated hue. Aromas of cherries, plums, and cassis mingle with clay dust and new leather, enveloped by a halo of eucalyptus and potting soils. The entry is elegant yet powerful, with an almost weightless palate and dark, robust fruits offset by crushed gravel and a vibrant minerality supported by plush, medium-grained tannins. The finish unfolds with a bit of uplifted spice, giving way to waves of florals, vanilla, and dark cherries.
