MUZE
The Fabre Brothers were inspired to create this wine after tasting a wine called Clio from the Jumilla appellation in Spain – one very similar to Paso Robles.
THE STRUCTURE
Poetically named Muze in honor of the wine’s inspiration, the Clio red blend, her Spanish roots come from the Mourvèdre known as Mataro or Monastrell in Spain. Full-bodied and powerful this blend combines a classic Bordeaux style of Cabernet Sauvignon creating a showstopping wine with nuances of deep earthy structure, opulent fruit, and a seamless finish. The cool climate Syrah compliments the blend by bringing beautiful freshness and a hint of spice. Muze is a mesmerizing wine with a rich, elegant body and soulful notes.

Tasting Notes
Muze pours a deep, luminous red, signaling its expansive nature. Aromas of violets and rhubarb lead the nose, woven with earthy undertones and minerality. The palate is layered and enveloping as blueberry and red fruit flavors unfold with savory notes of sage and thyme, complemented by a subtle touch of olive tapenade and vanilla. Fine-grained tannins provide structure while preserving a smooth, velvety mouthfeel, carrying the wine through a long, composed finish marked by balance and depth.
