| Winemaker’s Notes: |
Our first release of Halter Ranch Estate Cabernet Sauvignon demonstrates why Westside Paso Robles has a growing reputation for world-class wine. Dark ruby-red in color, the wine offers classic cassis aromas with savory cocoa and sweet spice tones. Medium-full on the palate with ripe, intense flavors and well-integrated tannins, it’s an ideal wine for those who enjoy young, vibrant Cabernet Sauvignons with plenty of rich flavor. With proper cellaring, it will gain additional complexity over the next 5-7 years.
