The Bootleg Cabernet Sauvignon is a fantastic new wine from the up and coming Cabernet area of Paso Robles. Fantastic buy!

This wine is a big and bold, richly textured, opulent and ready-drinking Cabernet with flavors of red and black fruit, cassis, cola, and baking spices, finishing with textured minerality, elegant tannins, and bright acidity.

Bootleg has been and continues to be rooted in unconstrained winemaking. We’re working in that sweet spot where exuberance meets precision. It doesn’t hurt that the Paso Robles region’s unique soils fill the grapes with personality. And it certainly helps that cold air sneaks in at night to secure freshness in the fruit. Our winemaker takes full advantage of the freedom to make a quintessential expression of Paso Robles Cabernet Sauvignon each year, whatever path it takes to get there. Without rules or too much weight of tradition comes the chance to craft bold wines from the most respectable vineyards. This is Cabernet that spills onto the palate like ink, surprises you with silkiness, then unpacks complex flavors of heaven on earth.
