Clean aromas of dark cherry, toasted wood, cinnamon and cola are deftly layered on the nose of this bottling. The palate hits all the Cab marks, from blackberry to cedar to herb, proving comfortably familiar.

So smooth, floral and saturated in blueberry flavors on a rich texture. It has a cool, minty, dark-fruit appeal, melted tannins and a full body. The lingering finish echoes dark chocolate and blueberry jam. Drink now.
Denner Vineyards is a highly respected and acclaimed winery located on the far western side of the Paso Robles AVA in California. Founded by Ron Denner in 1999, after an extensive search for the ideal vineyard site, the estate boasts a 156-acre parcel that presses up against the Santa Lucia Range.
This location in the Templeton Gap provides a unique microclimate with significant diurnal temperature swings (warm days, cool nights) due to marine influences, creating optimal conditions for growing a diverse range of grape varieties. They even sell some of their high-quality fruit to other premium Paso Robles producers, a testament to their vineyard’s caliber.
The estate is known for its incredible vineyard diversity, with 108 acres under vine comprised of 19 different varieties planted across 26 unique blocks. The soils are predominantly rocky and calcareous (limestone), which is highly prized in Paso Robles for promoting vine health and producing wines with excellent acidity and minerality.
