tasting notes
This Cabernet Sauvignon-dominant wine has notes of cassis, tobacco and chocolate. The concentration of fruit and sharp tannins perfectly express the splendor of the sandy soils and cool climate of the vineyards.

Matt Dees' Winemaker Notes
A dark, dark Cabernet Sauvignon wine. Smoky black fruits and herbs, baking spices and dusty nuances. It has powerful fruit and structure, and fine tannins spread smoothly in the mouth. It is a wine that can be enjoyed deliciously even on the second day after uncorking, and it is also a wine that can be expected to age for a long time. Full-bodied and delicate, this wine is an irresistible companion for California Cabernet Lovers and a great accompaniment to steak.

91 points Vinos, Antonio Galloni August 2020
"The 2017 Pairing Red Blend continues to exceed expectations. It opens with aromas of dark red fruit, tobacco, menthol, leather and spice, and is juicy, spacious and full. Very expressive: Tobacco, cedar, liquorice and roasted herb nuances add further layers of complexity.”
