Andrew Cabernet Sauvignon is a certified organic Paso Robles red wine from the 2023 vintage, bottled at 13.9% ABV. Founded in 2023 by Chris, Barb and Christian alongside winemaker Phil Zorn, the wine is made from fruit sourced from the Andrew Vineyard in Paso Robles' Creston District. The blend is 91% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Petit Verdot and 4% Merlot, fermented in stainless steel and aged for nine months in American oak barrels. The vineyard sits on sandy loam soils, and the operation is 100% solar-powered. The wine carries CCOF Organic, Certified Biodynamic and SIP Certified designations. The nose opens with ripe blackcurrant and plum, cedar, dried herb and peppercorn. The palate builds through anise, bay leaf, blackberry, cherry cola, cassis and vanilla, with silky tannins. The finish is long, with plum skin, cola, coffee, licorice and graphite.
