San Simeon Stormwatch Estate Reserve Paso Robles 2017 750 ML

The skies darken, the winds howl, and the waves pound the rugged shore… Stormwatch! Located near the coastal town of San Simeon, the family’s Estate vineyards are located within the El Pomar district of the renowned Paso Robles appellation. Steep hillsides and rocky soils produce the intense flavors and aromas of this Bordeaux-style blend. This artisan wine is hand-crafted in small lots and aged in French oak barrels for a minimum of 18 months. Dark, rich, and mouth-filling. Ripe flavors of blackberry and raspberry with touches of spice and vanilla. Enjoy the thrill of Stormwatch!
Pairs well with grilled ribeye steaks with blue cheese butter, roast leg of lamb with rosemary and garlic, and tagliatelle with beef ragu.

Blend: 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Malbec, 16% Petit Verdot, 12% Merlot, 12% Cabernet Franc. Delicate and impressive depth on the nose. The finish is quite unique, rich and long lasting.

Producer Information
San Antonio Winery is one of the oldest producing wineries in Los Angeles, established in 1917 by Italian immigrant, Santo Cambianica. The winery has vineyards in Paso Robles’ El Pomar AVA, as well as in Santa Lucia Highlands, Arroyo Secco and Napa Valley, making a wide range of red, white, sparkling and dessert wines. The flagship wine, under the Riboli Family Wine Estates label, is a Cabernet Sauvignon wine from an estate vineyard in Rutherford. The Los Angeles winery has been a historical landmark since 1965 and remains family-owned after four generations. San Antonio survived Prohibition in the United States by gaining permission to produce altar wines, becoming one of the leading producers of sacramental wines in the region. It still makes a range of sacramental wines today. It is currently run by the third generation of the Riboli family. Along with the Riboli Family Estate wines, there are around 20 brands under the San Antonio umbrella. These include Stella Rosa, San Simeon, Opaque, Kinderwood, Villa Alena, Three Pines, and Maddalena (named after the family’s matriarch Maddalena Riboli – niece of founder Santo Cambianica). San Antonio produces a host of value-driven wines from classic varieties including Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Merlot, Pinot Noir, Sauvignon Blanc, and Syrah, to name a few. The operation has three locations: the original property and winery in Los Angeles; a wine store and tasting room in Ontario (California), and a winery in Paso Robles, established in 2016.
