Patrimony Cabernet Sauvignon 2016 – A Paso Robles Masterpiece

Hailing from California’s renowned Adelaida District in Paso Robles, Patrimony’s 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon is a testament to the region’s extraordinary potential. Crafted by visionary winemakers from estate-grown grapes rooted in magical limestone soils—a terroir celebrated for its mineral-rich complexity—this luxury red wine delivers unparalleled depth and elegance. Aged meticulously for 30 months in 100% new French oak barrels, it balances bold intensity with refined sophistication, making it an ideal addition to any discerning wine collection or special occasion table.

James Suckling praised its “plush yet reserved character,” while Vinous highlighted its seamless finish of cherry-cola and exotic spice—a harmony of flavors that lingers long after each sip.

Exceptional Flavors & Sensory Experience

The palate reveals velvety tannins that frame lush black cherry and currant flavors alongside earthy graphite undertones, offering both power and poise. Unlike many Napa Valley Cabs that lean overtly toward opulence, this Paso Robles gem strikes an elegant balance between richness and vibrancy thanks to its cool-climate acidity and structured minerality.
