Iron and Sand Paso Robles Cabernet Sauvignon

A Bold Expression of Paso Robles

Tasting Notes

Iron and Sand Paso Robles Cabernet Sauvignon opens with an inviting bouquet of dark red fruit—blueberry, black cherry, and cassis—touched by a hint of cola and a dusting of baking spice. On the palate, this velvety, lush wine delivers mouthwatering flavours of black cherry, blackberry, and subtle undertones of coffee, mocha, and vanilla. The lively acidity and fine tannins create a structured and balanced wine, suggesting it has a long life ahead. The finish is long, supple, and endlessly satisfying, with an elegant complexity.

Perfect Serve

This wine is a perfect match for grilled steaks, roast lamb, or barbecued meats, where its depth and structure can shine. It also pairs beautifully with aged cheeses and rich, chocolate-based desserts.

Crafted with Care

After careful harvesting, the grapes were brought to the winery and processed using a unique method: fermenters situated atop storage tanks, allowing for minimal pump usage and careful pomace management. The wine underwent three pump-overs per day, with each batch receiving custom attention to maximise the extraction of the vineyards' distinctive terroir. A small portion (less than 6%) of the wine was aged in first-year French and American oak barrels, contributing palate weight and smooth texture. The rest of the wine was aged in neutral barrels, allowing the extraordinary Paso Robles terroir to shine through.
