As savvy Cabernet fans have discovered, Paso Robles is “one of the most dynamic wine regions in California” (Wine Spectator). The region is home to several leading estattes and dozens of serious, $100-plus-a-bottle releases, but you’ll also find some terrific values.
République—crafted by veteran winemaker Clay Brock from top vineyards across the rolling hills of Paso Robles—is your perfect introduction. It’s already drinking deliciously and will gain further complexity with a few years in the cellar.
Deeply colored, it wafts heady aromas of black currant, plum and toasted tobacco leaf with hints if toasty spice imparted from oak aging. On the palate, it showcases Paso Robles’s classic, intense character and fresh zip, hemmed in by velvety tannins that leave an all-over round impression.
République is fantastic with braised short ribs, strip steaks or vegetarian chili and is also smooth enough to enjoy on its own.Word to the wise: previous vintages of République have sold very quickly. Secure your share of the latest release now.
