Product details
Iron + Sand hails from the rugged terrain of Paso Robles, California, paying homage to the region's historic Iron Spring and Sand Spring, which once made it a bustling destination known as California’s oldest watering place. The name also reflects essential elements of Paso Robles’ terroir—sturdy iron trellising supports the vines, while the alluvial, well-drained sandy soils provide an ideal environment for growing Cabernet Sauvignon. This blend of natural grit and history defines the character of the wine.
In the glass, Iron + Sand Cabernet Sauvignon reveals a dense purple hue and captivating aromas of ripe red fruits, cherries, anise, cedar, roasted coffee, and tobacco. On the palate, lush flavors of raspberry, cherry, and plum meld with warm baking spices, earthy notes, and a hint of vanilla. Balanced by lively acidity and fine tannins, the wine presents a velvety texture with a long, supple finish. Perfectly paired with almond wood-grilled chicken, roasted poblano chiles, and stone-ground grits, this Cabernet offers a memorable Paso Robles experience.
