wine of the week
Wente Vineyards Southern Hills Cabernet Sauvignon
Elizabeth Kester started her journey to becoming a winemaker by earning a B.S. in Wine and Viticulture from California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo, in 2009.
Hess Allomi Cabernet Sauvignon
This 93 Point Napa Valley Cab has some fans for sure, and you can thank our feature Winemaker, Stephanie Pope!
Iron + Sand Cabernet Sauvignon
This Cab from Paso Robles is made from fruit sourced primarily in the San Miguel sub-AVA and is aged in neutral French Oak barrels.
Seghesio Zinfandel
Plush in texture, this Zin is generous with blackberry and cherry flavors that draw in accents of briar patch, black pepper and toasty cinnamon as it finishes with zesty tannins. 92 points, Wine Spectator.
J. Lohr South Ridge Syrah
Rich Paso Robles berry and plum married to Rhone-style spice and structure presents a perfect example of a Paso Robles Syrah wine. Pair with a slow-roasted pork shoulder and herbed potatoes. For simple, casual fare, try a classic BLT. Enjoy now for its fresh berry character; with proper cellaring, will improve through 2026.
