The Wines
All of the fruit was gently destemmed and crushed, then inoculated. Each fermentation was pumped-over twice daily. Extended maceration for bigger extraction upward of 28 days.
Clocking in at 15% abv, rugged Paso possesses the largest diurnal temperature difference of all California wine-growing regions. Days can reach over 100 degrees and nights can be in the low 30s.
Extreme heat forges fruit with dark, bold, monstrously brooding flavors and freezing nights retain a juicy, racing acidity.

“The Big Red Monster Slay It Cabernet Sauvignon Lot: One is rambunctious and persistent. Tasting Notes: This wine displays dramatic black fruit and pencil lead aromas and flavors. Pair it with a thick and rare slice of prime rib.” -Wilfred Wong of Wine.com

“This widely available bottling, which includes small amounts of Petite Sirah and Petit Verdot, is sure to please anyone seeking a powerful red wine. Clean lines of black currant, crushed slate, light cocoa, char and oregano hit the nose, while the palate amplifies that herbal edge, with rich milk-chocolate and black-fruit flavors. A solid grip adds to the complexity” -Editors Choice Wine Enthusiast
