Winemaker Notes
The Paso Robles terroir lends our 2011 Cabernet Sauvignon an undercurrent of earthiness and minerality that adds depth to the aromas of pomegranate and red currant. Hints of coee bean, tomato leaf, and white pepper add complexity to the pure dark fruit prole. The palate shows focused fruit avors of blackberry and black cherry, with a hint of clove through the nish. French and American oak are well-integrated, contributing subtle notes of toee on the mid-palate, followed by vanilla and spice. The mouthfeel is silky, smooth and satisfying.
Project Paso is an exciting venture for the Don Sebastiani & Sons. While the Paso Robles area has been producing wine for over 200 years, the area is just now gaining recognition among wine aficionados for its distinctive character. In 1990 there were fewer than 20 wineries in Paso Robles. Today there are more than 200—and the area is now the fastest-growing AVA in California.
For over 30 years, Don Sebastiani & Sons have been partnering with well-known Paso Robles grape-grower Sam Balakian to source the grapes that we’ve used to add depth and complexity to many of our California wines. As interest in the region continued to grow, they knew the time was right to craft a Paso Robles-centric family of wines that would truly showcase this emerging region. Whenever the idea came up, they would casually refer to it as "Project Paso". When the wines were finished, we just couldn’t imagine calling them anything else, and with that Project Paso was born.
