2019 AOV Cuvée Volcanique 1
2019 Art of the Vineyard Volcanique Cuvée of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc from the legendary West Paso Robles volcanic Carmody McKnight vineyard.
The estate wine has fantastic concentration while never feeling over-ripe. The tannins are seamless and the purity of fruit makes it so deliciously exotic. This is aromatic with red current, dried cherries and plum skins as well as spiced chocolate, geranium, walnut shell and orange peel. It’s full, structured and wide on the palate with medium tannins. It’s powerful but not heavy with freshness and crunchiness. Shows intensity and richness. Delicious drinking now, yet will age beautifully through 2030.
This rare, limited-allocation release iis labeled by artist Gary Carmody Conway is a true collectors' item available with autographed 7x9 prints exclusively online and our tasting gallery in Downtown Paso Robles, CA.
