Growing Notes:
Cabernet Sauvignon Austin Barrel 20 source from Paso Robles vineyards located mainly on the eastside of the appellation, they all have one thing in common: Gravely-to-loamy soils with calcareous deposits. This helps with quality consistency and makes for a true “Paso” flavor profile. T
he Paso Robles AVA districts liked most are Geneseo, Estrella and Paso Robles Highlands, which is where the bulk of the vineyards are located. The 2020 growing season and harvest was near normal in some ways and very unusual in others.
Rainfall was below average with the bulk of the storms occurring in early winter and early spring. Vine growth and berry development was normal through spring. Then, summer brought several heatwaves slowing berry development slightly.
However, October was warm and dry, which helped to quickly mature clusters. Harvest was condensed and flurried as most fruit ripened at the same time. Yields were down from estimates, but the berries were mature with dark red skin color and concentrated flavors.

Winemaking Notes:
Cabernet Sauvignon Austin harvests and ferments individually by vineyard lots. Then barreled into a combination of French and American oak barrels, 10% of which are new. Wines were matured in oak for an average of 14 months and racked twice during barrel-aging before an initial blend was assembled in late September of 2021.
Following another 3 months in 15% new French Oak, the blend was finalized and racked a final time before a gentle cross-flow filtration and bottling in mid December 2021.
