The 2023 Vintage
The 2023 vintage will be remembered as one of Paso Robles’ finest. A long, cool growing season unfolded with remarkable consistency - mild days, crisp nights, and a steady rhythm that allowed the vines to mature at their own pace. This extended hang time built layers of flavor and complexity while preserving the natural freshness and energy that define truly exceptional wines. Across the region, canopies remained balanced and fruit developed with precision, resulting in smaller berries of exceptional color and concentration.
The wines from this vintage are a study in harmony: elegant yet powerful, with pure aromatics, refined texture, and depth that unfolds beautifully in the glass. Expressive in their youth, the 2023 wines are destined to evolve beautifully with time.
The Tasting Notes
2023 ORIGIN
100% Cabernet Sauvignon
Origin has a deep, luminous dark red hue that immediately draws the eye. The nose is expressive with notes of ripe cherry layered with a delicate touch of graphite and a subtle lift of fresh herbs. On the palate, it’s plush and vibrant. Juicy red fruit flavors build with each sip. As the wine opens, a subtle note of fresh jalapeño adds a hint of complexity. The texture is velvety and seamless, with fine-grained tannins that lend structure. It all comes together in a long, polished finish that leaves a lasting impression of balance, freshness, and elegance.
2023 LES DEUX FRÈRES
70% Grenache · 24% Cabernet Sauvignon · 6% Syrah
Les Deux Frères is a deep, vibrant red in the glass. The nose is bright and inviting, with aromas of juicy cherry and gentle herbal notes adding freshness and lift. It’s expressive on the palate — pomegranate and dark cherry notes unfold with a brush of cocoa, all wrapped in a smooth, rounded texture. Each variety plays a distinct role: Grenache brings vibrancy and lift, Cabernet Sauvignon lends structure and depth, and Syrah layers in dark fruit and a refreshing edge. Polished tannins lead to a long, graceful finish, where energy and elegance are beautifully in sync.
2023 LAPSUS
27% Graciano · 27% Syrah · 26% Cabernet Sauvignon · 20% Mourvèdre
Lapsus opens with a captivating nose of dark berries, oak, and a touch of fresh herbs. On the palate, Graciano adds softness and a burst of vivid red fruit, bringing both richness and lift to the mid-palate. Cabernet Sauvignon adds layers of concentrated dark fruit, while Mourvèdre introduces earthy depth and quiet intrigue. A hint of spice and savory nuance from Syrah ties the blend together, leading to a bright, lingering finish framed by smooth, refined tannins.
2023 LE VINGT
Sold Out
70% Grenache · 18% Mourvèdre · 8% Carignan · 4% Syrah
Le Vingt is vibrant, expressive, and effortlessly approachable. Grenache delivers a burst of ripe raspberry, lifted by delicate floral notes of violet and rose petal. The palate is juicy and layered. Raspberry notes mingle with cedar, fennel, and anise. Carignan brings savory depth and a thread of dried herbs, while Syrah adds brightness and a hint of spice. Mourvèdre grounds the wine with subtle earthiness, lending texture and complexity to a smooth, nuanced finish.
