Guess the wine before the reveal: 🍷 Deep ruby in the glass — totally opaque. A swirl shows thick tears… yep, elevated alcohol and a full-bodied punch. On the nose: black fruits galore — boysenberry, black plum, black currant — with hints of pencil lead and warm baking spices. On the palate: juicy black currant, textured, full-bodied, finishing with structured, sweet tannins. Rich and layered, but still approachable. . . . Here’s your expert-level clue: You know this grape, but this region gives it a surprisingly bold profile without breaking the bank. Pacific breezes + Paso Robles sun = serious flavor. . Spoiler ahead! . . . This is Ancient Peaks’ 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon from Santa Margarita Ranch in Paso Robles, California. Just 14 miles from the ocean and the only independently owned winery in the AVA.
