Varietal Birthplace Year
Cabernet Sauvignon Paso Robles 2005
California’s Paso Robles region is known for its cowboys, ranches and rich red wines, like this bold, plummy blend of Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon. With toasty, vanilla-edged black- and red-currant aromas, this wine invites you in. A few years of bottle age have mellowed this smoky red’s ripe tannins and rich plum and black-currant flavors—a real crowd pleaser.
Black currant, baked plum, clove and vanilla.
Paso Robles has been growing wine grapes for more than 200 years, but it still feels like a frontier town. Located halfway between Los Angeles and San Francisco, “Paso” (as locals call it) gets its laid-back character from the ranchers and vintners who dominate the region. Its wine-friendly climate comes from the Pacific Ocean, which moderates Paso’s hot days enough to make its tawny, rolling hills perfect for heatloving grapes like Cabernet, Zinfandel and Syrah. Vitaluce Cellar’s winemaker Paul Vittori sourced grapes for this cassis-driven red from the cooler, western side of Paso, where chilly coastal breezes help slow down grapes’ ripening enough to develop thick skins and complex flavors.
Rare steaks, hearty roasts and grilled red meats will provide the protein, fat and smoky taste that bring out the best in the Vitaluce. Lamb is also a good choice. Ingredients that play to the wine’s plush flavors, such as Asian seasonings, dried fruit or chutney, will work well. Try it with my Salisbury Steak with Mushroom Sauce and you won’t be disappointed. Serve with my recipe for Baked Pommes Frites (great for soaking up the sauce) and a green vegetable to round out the meal.
VitaLuce quite simply means “The Brilliance of Life,” and the vintners say they look forward to enhancing the brilliant moments in your life!
