Tasting Notes
Color Deep garnet with a beautiful, vibrant red cassis hue
Palate It's rare when a wine truly feels 'alive.' This wine has incredible verve and presence while still being youthful and light on its feet — a young virtuoso just starting to show their chops. Plays lithely but notably down the center of the tongue, slowly expanding to the sides, hitting the salivary glands and making the mouth water for more. Beautifully refined structure — small-grained and fully integrated. Structure to last, not to overpower. Also: with a direct and focused nose characteristic of classical Cabernet-Franc, featuring notes of currant buds and well-integrated oak. Fine-grained, mineral tannins frame the palate. More complex and promising for aging potential. Well-structured, offering length, complexity, and great potential for aging.

Critic Reviews
- Cellar Selection
“The bouquet of this blend of 57% Cabernet Sauvignon and 43% Cabernet Franc shows light tones of leather, gravel, and dust that lead to scents of driftwood and vanilla underpinned by cherry. Full on the attack with flavors of dried cherries, cranberries, and currants. Bone-dry on the finish, with gravelly, earthy notes, it screams to be paired with game such as venison or wild duck.”
“This new project from Neeta and Kunal Mittal aims to reflect Bordeaux character in Paso Robles, and this inaugural estate blend of 57% Cabernet Sauvignon and 43% Cabernet Franc succeeds in walking that path, presenting a wine that's full of fruit yet savory and elegant. Aromas of dark black plum and fresh berry are dusted in shaved stone on the nose. The palate's polished yet persistently escalating tannins are deftly woven through the dark red fruit, pepper and light porcini flavors. Drink now-2042. — Matt Kettmann”
