Ancient Peaks One Stone Cabernet Sauvignon
Ancient Peaks One Stone Cabernet Sauvignon
One Stone is a tribute to the women who move mountains, one stone at a time. In that spirit, these wines shine at every occasion. The grapes come from select sites that exemplify Paso Robles as a world-class region. The resulting wine is sophisticated, elegant and powerful—much like the land and the women from which they come. The striking labels showcase original paintings by Paso Robles artist Audrey Jackson, and a portion from every bottle of One Stone wine sold is donated to Dream Big Darling. Founded by Amanda Wittstrom-Higgins, Dream Big Darling is an organization that provides educational opportunities and mentorship programs for the next generation of female leaders in the wine industry. One Stone Cabernet Sauvignon has emerged as a unique force in the world of Cabernet Sauvignon, earning widespread acclaim as a perennial best buy.
Wine Production
After harvesting, the fruit is gently destemmed and cold soaked for a measured extraction of color and flavor. At the conclusion of fermentation, the wine is racked to a combination of French and American oak barrels (15% new oak), where it ages for 15 months prior to blending and bottling. Small lots of Malbec and Syrah are included in the final blend for enhanced depth and fruit dimension, while a complement of Merlot brings added silkiness to the mouthfeel.
Tasting Notes
One Stone Cabernet Sauvignon is loaded with complex aromas of plum, black olive, caramel, graphite, and earthy loam. The palate is sumptuous and integrated, offering generous flavors of black cherry, cassis, cranberry, fig, anise, and espresso. Velvety textures and flashy tannins complete the experience of this fully expressed Cabernet Sauvignon.
Food Pairing
The rich varietal character of One Stone Cabernet Sauvignon is a perfect match for cheddar cheeseburgers, lamb chops, vegetarian flatbread, and grilled steak tacos.
