Fabulous and Highly Recommended! The San Simeon Paso Robles Cabernet Sauvignon.

Sample submitted for review. The San Simeon Cabernet Sauvignon from San Antonio Winery has an SRP of $25 and is available for as low as $17.

From the bottle:

Located near the coastal town of San Simeon, our family’s estate vineyards are focused within the renowned Paso Robles appellation. San Simeon Cabernet Sauvignon is a blend of several steep hillside vineyards. This artisan wine is hand-crafted in small lots. It gains spice and vanilla aromas from aging in primarily French oak barrels for at least 18 months. Ripe plum and wild berry notes pair well with grilled meats, firm cheeses, and chocolate.

There’s nothing quite like a big, rich Cab and the 2013 San Simeon Cabernet Sauvignon certainly fits that description! It begins with a very pleasant aroma full of cedar, blackberry, vanilla, spice and a hint of dark chocolate. With a big, rich taste, it literally makes you say “Wow” on the first sip. Featuring lots of dark fruit wrapped up beautifully in spice, chocolate and vanilla notes along with firm silky tannins, this a decadent wine. It ends dry and long with lasting rich fruit and oaky spice. This is Cab just the way we like it. Fabulous!
