BEZEL WINES CABERNET SAUVIGNON PASO ROBLES 2022

Bezel Wines crafts this bold Paso Robles Cabernet Sauvignon by thoughtfully combining fruit from two distinct vineyard sites across the appellation, allowing winemaker Jane Dunkley to capture complementary characteristics from each location. The unique Paso Robles terroir—with its dramatic diurnal temperature shifts and diverse soils ranging from calcareous to alluvial—creates perfect conditions for developing robust Bordeaux varieties. This charismatic blend of primarily Cabernet Sauvignon with Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, and Malbec undergoes 14 months in French oak, resulting in a generously structured wine that balances plush fruit with classic herbal complexity. Expressive layers of sun-kissed wild blackberries intertwine with boysenberry jam, dried bay leaf, and dark chocolate notes, creating a versatile companion for everything from Santa Maria BBQ tri-tip sandwiches to hearty pasta Bolognese—a true California character with both depth and approachability.
