"Medium-bodied with juicy, fruit forward character and polished tannins. Sleek and round-textured."- James Sucklng
Fans of lush Paso Robles Cabs seeking a solid value need look no further than the richly textured, 93-point 2021 Provenance Deadeye Cabernet Sauvignon, an appealing, juicy bargain stunner from an outstanding Central Coast vintage with balanced tannins and a silky, polished finish.
Considered one of the best vintages ever by Paso Robles growers according to James Suckling, the 2021 growing season was defined by even temperatures with the absence of major heat spikes in an extended growing season, enjoying a combination of long, sunny days and high temperatures that enhanced flavor development and encouraged optimal ripening. While “continued drought led to lower yields from smaller clusters and berries but also concentrated flavors” according to Wine Advocate’s Erin Larkin, the cooling effect of Pacific Ocean breezes flowing through the Templeton Gap resulted in lower nighttime temperatures, allowing the Cabernet Sauvignon grapes to retain their natural acidity. Harvesting at night to preserve freshness, winemaker Noel Basso aged the plush 2021 Provenance Deadeye Cabernet Sauvignon in a combination of 20% toast and neutral American oak barrels, yielding fresh, aromatic dark fruit with exceptional richness resulting from the small, drought affected berries, balanced by mineral-laced acidity and finishing with pleasing notes of citrusy spice.
Among the top-rated Paso value Cabs from an outstanding vintage, the smooth and ready-to-drink 2021 Deadeye delivers one of the region’s top bargain propostions, a delicious and thoroughly satisfying Cab certain to thrill Paso Robles fans and any California Cab lover seeking an outstanding value to enjoy often. |
