Niner Estates 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon represents Paso Robles. Ripe plum and black cherry aromas lead into a rich palate and a full finish that melds tannin with fruit. The Cabernet is blended with 4-percent Malbec and 4-percent Petite Verdot and aged in barrel (30-percent new French oak) for 18 months. Production at the green winery, which is LEED Silver Certified and SIP Certified, is overseen by Patrick Muran.
