2019 Patrimony Caves des Lions
Paso Robles
The 2019 Caves des Lions is a blend of free-run Cabernet Sauvignon (52%) and Cabernet Franc (48%) matured for 22 months in 100% new French oak and bottled in December of 2021. Opaque ruby in color, it has layered aromas of blackcurrant, lilac, graphite, fried savory herbs and game meats. The full-bodied palate is powerful yet balanced, its restrained, mineral-laced fruit complemented by mouthwatering acidity, and it boasts a long, graceful finish. Harmonious and latent, it will demand plenty of patience as it unwinds in bottle—the Patrimony wines tend to age at a glacial pace.

All About Pinot Noir, the “Heartbreaker” Grape
Pinot Noir is like the gentle artist of red grapes. It’s not as bold as some others, with a light, pale color due to its thin skin. Imagine tasting flavors of red fruits like cherries, raspberries, and strawberries, along with hints of flowers and a touch of earthiness.
Its smooth taste is easy to enjoy, thanks to a nice balance of acidity and tannins, making it feel gentle in your mouth. Compared to darker red wines, Pinot Noir feels lighter and you can almost see through it.
This captivating grape loves cooler places to grow, like Burgundy in France, where it showcases its special flavors. It also thrives in places like Oregon, California, and New Zealand.
