Broadside Margarita Cabernet

Appellation: Paso Robles
Sub AVA: Santa Margarita Ranch
Varietal: Cabernet Sauvignon
Vintage: 2018
pH: 3.75 TA: 5.5 g/L ALC: 14%

Winemaker Notes: After a hot summer, the weather
pattern returned to normal leading up to harvest—
which began 2-3 weeks later than usual. Vines saw
smaller cluster sizes and berries, indicating
intensity of flavor.

Maturation: 12 months in French & American Oak

Tasting Notes: Brilliant violet. Spice-accented
cherry and dark berry aromas show very good
clarity and a subtle smoky nuance. Sappy and
focused on the palate, offering bitter cherry and
black currant flavors that become sweeter with air.
Shows very good energy and clarity on the finish,
which is firmed by supple, slow-building tannins.
