2022 Hoc
56% Carignan, 22% Cabernet Sauvignon, 22% Syrah
Made to reflect the native country of the brothers, Hoc embodies the sense of home and purity derived from their past. Emblematic Carignan brings bright, intense red fruits and herbal qualities complimented by a savory finish that entices the palate. Carignan’s roots can be traced back to Spain and made its way into Southern France where it was planted in the Fabre family’s old estate. Deepened by Syrah’s dark spice and acidity and Cabernet Sauvignon’s minerally driven tannins, Hoc is balanced yet playful. A full-bodied, bold wine with a bright burst of flavor, this alluring blend toasts the ancestral expression of the Languedoc terroir.

2022 Reflet
55% Syrah, 45% Cabernet Sauvignon
Aptly named 'Reflet' to honor the way these two varietals mirror each other in power, status and character, this blend unites two of the kings of France - Syrah from the Northern Rhone and Cabernet Sauvignon from Bordeaux. Syrah thrives in Paso Robles, developing deep, concentrated flavors and color. Cabernet Sauvignon lends structure and refined, but firm tannins. Together, they create a wine of striking balance. Reflet is a tribute to tradition and terroir - a captivating expression of these noble varietals in Paso Robles.

2024 L'Essor
82% Grenache, 18% Cabernet Sauvignon
Simply referred to as “summer water” in France, L’Essor’s style of rosé is fresh, bright, and intended to be enjoyed now. L’Essor is crafted with Côtes de Provence rosé in mind but with a personalized spin since it is 100% direct press with no skin contact. The Grenache is the first pick of the season and creates a delicate and delightful golden color. This wine is dry and crisp but balanced by the deep notes of the Cabernet Sauvignon.

2024 Contrast
84% Chardonnay, 16% Sauvignon Blanc
When it comes to the “different & eclectic” offerings the Fabre brothers were looking to craft, Contrast is nearly the definition. In France, these varietals from Bordeaux, Loire, and Burgundy are competitors. In Paso Robles, their opposing terroirs and characteristics work in harmony to deliver a stunningly unique wine. Crafted in a Chablis manner, the acidity and brightness are garnered from the Chardonnay. The Sauvignon Blanc is allowed an extended ripening to bring about tropical notes. From these two contrasting varietals comes a textured and chalky Chardonnay balanced by crisp fresh notes of the Sauvignon Blanc and a minerally driven, palate-coating finish.
