About the wine
Powerful Cabernet from a revered Paso vineyard
- This powerhouse is overflowing with intense, mouthwatering flavors like blueberries, ripe black cherries and juicy black plums, all wrapped up with an extra-velvety finish thanks to aging in French oak barrels.
- Thanks to you, Richard harvests the best Cabernet grown in the highly coveted Giacone Vineyard of Paso Robles’ Estrella District, where hot days balance cool nights to give high-end Cabernet an ideal spot to thrive.
- If you know and love Richard’s award-winning Paso Robles Cab, good news! – this is the Reserve edition with limited availability. Grab a few bottles and don’t miss out!
Best before
I expect this wine to be approachable in August 2022, but optimal in late 2022 or early 2023. But, I expect it will age beautifully through 2038.
Serving advice
Air is your friend. Use an aerator or decanter or simply pour a glass and wait for 20-30 minutes. You can definitely sense the change in the glass within 15-20 of swirling.
Food match
This is fantastic with a cowboy cut (thick) New York steak with sea salt and cracked pepper.
Contains sulphites
Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Richard Bruno
Years Angel-funded: 2013-2023
- Richard Bruno is exactly what we love in a winemaker– the quiet achiever behind the scenes at some of the world's most famous wine brands. He's made wine for Francis Ford Coppola and Don Sebastiani, the latter of which was named Winery of the Year TWICE under his watch.
- During his decades making wine for famous wineries and earning them 90+ scores, he has traveled all up and down California's coastal wine regions. His experience and familiarity with the terrain allow him to sniff out the best-bang-for-buck pretty much anywhere in the state.
- Launching one's wine brand is hard and expensive, so Richard is using Angel funding – and he's able to focus on winemaking, instead of selling wine.
