A well-crafted Cabernet from Paso Robles—a region that has yet to explode in popularity, thus, there are interesting values to be had. San Simeon is a brand owned by San Antonio Winery, which still maintains an urban tasting room in Los Angeles. The winery has been in operation since 1917. Sumptuous aromas and flavors of blackberries, black cherries, and cassis are balanced by smooth, velvety tannins concentrated on the fore-palate, which subsides to cedar, spice and a lingering touch of prune on the finish. 14.5% ABV | Sample
