So just how special a Paso Robles Cabernet Sauvignon deal is this?
Well, it outscores (for one) the current release of Daou’s $275 Patrimony, as well as every single one of the 26 Austin Hopes the Wine Advocate has ever reviewed. Not to mention outscoring every Caymus Napa Cabernet and tying the top-rated Silver Oak Cabernets ever (1995 and 1991)…and beating the other 60!
But like the Wine Advocate and Vinous (which found this both “velvety and refined”), what especially impresses us – especially in the Paso robles context – is juice how perfectly balanced and classy this rich Paso Cabernet is.
McPrice Meyers always seems to overdeliver, but this one is a real category buster. Even if that category is “Cabernet Sauvignons Under $40.
