Grey Wolf's 2023 Cabernet Sauvignon prowls forth from Paso Robles with the confidence of a predator at the top of its game, showcasing why this region has become California's most exciting frontier for Bordeaux varieties. This latest vintage captures the perfect convergence of Paso's unique terroir – dramatic diurnal temperature swings, diverse soils, and abundant sunshine – creating a Cabernet that balances power with finesse in distinctly Californian fashion.

Grey Wolf's approach to Cabernet reflects both respect for the variety and understanding of Paso Robles' potential. The diverse microclimates within their vineyard sites allow for complexity in the blend, with warmer sites contributing richness and cooler exposures adding structure and aromatics. Careful canopy management protects against excessive heat while ensuring optimal ripeness. The winemaking balances extraction with elegance, creating wines that showcase fruit while maintaining food-friendly balance.

This compelling Cabernet offers immediate approachability while promising several years of positive evolution. Decant for 30 minutes to allow its full aromatic complexity to emerge, then pair with grilled ribeye, lamb chops, or aged cheeses. The combination of concentration and balance makes it equally suited to contemplative sipping or social dinners. This bottle demonstrates why Paso Robles has earned its reputation as one of California's most dynamic wine regions.
