Peachy Canyon 1999 West Side Cabernet Sauvignon (Paso Robles)

Country: US / West Side
Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon California
Winery: Peachy Canyon / Paso Robles

West Side, in Paso Robles, means hot, and while the alcohol in this wine is a moderate 13.5%, you can taste the heat in the gentle tannins and soft acids. It’s bone-dry, with berry flavors. A nicely crafted young wine. —S.H.
