Falcone Family Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon Paso Robles 2017 750 ML

Offers aromas of black cherry, roasted wood and savory cracked pepper. The palate combines black-cherry sauce with hickory-smoke flavors, wrapped in smooth polished tannins and a silky mouthfeel.\n \n Producer Information\n Since their careers started in the seventies and eighties, they have worked throughout some of California’s great winegrowing regions. Over the years their passion for crafting wines inspired us to plant their own small vineyard in Paso Robles and produce their family brand, Falcone Family Vineyards. The two of us came to the Central Coast from the Napa Valley after successful stints at Atlas Peak Vineyards (where John was winemaker) and Chimney Rock Winery (where Helen worked as assistant winemaker). They find that the pace of life in the Central Coast is well-suited to their lifestyle both as winemakers and as parents. Their family’s team approach makes their wines truly special. John oversees farming aspects of their estate vineyard and outside vineyard sources while Helen co-produces the wines and markets them. In 1998 they celebrated the arrival of their daughter Mia, the namesake of their family vineyard. Mia assists with punch-downs, yeast cultures and grape sorting when she’s not at Cal Poly studying Wine Business. They focus on producing high-quality Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah for various reasons. Perhaps the most important one is that their estate vineyard is ideal for growing Bordeaux and Rhône varietals. In addition to these primary varietals, they also produce a Chardonnay from Sierra Madre Vineyard in the Santa Maria Valley.
