Pomar Junction Reserve Cabernet 2016 750ml

$38.00

Pomar Junction is the Merrill family's winery in the El Pomar District of Paso Robles, with Cal Poly enology professor Jim Shumate making the wines. The Reserve Cabernet is a hand selection of the best barrels from the estate vineyard: 100% Cabernet Sauvignon off limestone Linne Calodo hillsides cooled by Templeton Gap breezes. The house recipe runs 21 months in French oak, about a third new. The 2016 carries nearly a decade of bottle age now. Drink-ready reserve Cab for thirty-eight dollars.

Ripe blackberry and currant with a dark, saturated color. Smooth and elegant rather than jammy, generous mouthfeel, gentle oak spice, long and even on the finish.

Beef Wellington bites, prime rib, mushroom burgers.

Family owned and operated by the Merrills in the El Pomar District AVA, farmed with sustainable vineyard practices. Estate-grown fruit, small-lot winemaking, limestone Linne Calodo soils, Templeton Gap wind.
