2023 Deauratus Cabernet Sauvignon Jillian Rose Vineyard, Paso Robles
San Francisco Wine Panel Score 95+ Points
If never downright powerful, this Cabernet is deep and complex, and offers a truly fine panorama of fruity and savory scents that include blackberry, black currant, dark plum, leather, peppercorn, mineral, toasted oak and roasted game. All of these elements fan out on the palate, where the wine is forthcoming in concentrated fruit and spice notes while being texturally tense, palate-coating and quietly gripping through a the finish that is long-lingering. Additionally, it delivers its exotic savory and fruit flavors at a fine price.
