THE STRUCTURE

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.

Tasting Notes

The 2022 Reflet is a wine of depth and elegance, with a captivating nose of black pepper, spice and plum that immediately draws you in. The palate unveils a rich tapestry of black fruits, including dark cherry and blackberry, while the second sip reveals layers of licorice and black peppercorn. A distinct minerality adds vibrancy and layers of intrigue. The velvety mouthfeel and chalky tannins provide an elegant structure, leading to a finish that is refined and lasting.
