From Paso Robles the heart of California's Central Coast, Paso Robles which see a longer growing season than Napa characterized by hot, sunny days and cool, clear nights. We sourced the fruit from two vineyards at either end of the AVA with strikingly different growing conditions. One, high desert site with extremes from day to night giving us tannic structure and retaining acidity. The other huddled against the southern tip of the Santa Lucia Range giving us plush, generous fruit with a classic herbal edge. The resulting blend is an exquisite wine with layers of complexity and nuanced flavors.

Drawing from 50 years of the Cakebread family's winemaking experience and selecting grapes that reflect the unique personalities of their regions, Bezel crafts quality, fruit-forward wines to elevate your everyday wine drinking occasion.

Harvest Note
It seems inevitable to write about a low rainfall season in Paso Robles but 2021 was another dry year. Low yields and warmweather should have meant an early harvest but cooling spells (without frost) meant long hangtime resulting in small berrieswith concentrated flavours
Tasting Note
Aromas of blackberry, dried herbs and a hint of minerality lead to a plush flavors of ripe black and red fruits, and darkchocolate on the palate.
