Nose
Loaded with aromatic notes of graphite, violets, and red and black currants, the Meso starts with a very Left Bank styled nose right from the get-go.
Palate
On the palate, more subtle notes of cedar, cassia, and iron start to emerge. The palate itself is broad, with large structured but well integrated tannins that transition seamlessly into a long, pleasing finish filled with hints of roasted toffee and espresso dust.
Growing Conditions
The 2019 Meso Cabernet Sauvignon is a pure representation of Block 8 from Gateway Vineyard in the Willow Creek District of Paso Robles. The well-drained, limestone-rich soils challenge the vines to dig deep and work hard to ripen a naturally low crop load. This in turn creates a perfect expression of classic, restrained yet expressive new world Cabernet.
