Warrior - Cabernet & Petite Sirah Blend
Our Warrior blend is an alliance of two formidable forces: the popular Cabernet and the renegade Petite Sirah. Warrior surrounds the palette with bold waves of ripe plum, black currant and tobacco. It is powerful in flavor and well structured thanks to more than two years aging in a combination of new and neutral French oak barrels. Warrior is also surprisingly agile with an ABV of only 14.1%. We were pleased to have the opportunity to source some beautiful Petite Sirah in 2019 from St. Peter of Alcantara Vineyard in the Willow Creek District of Paso Robles - and some equally solid Cabernet from Hastings Ranch in the Adelaida District to blend it into. We often hear from our customers that Warrior is the best valued West Side Cab blend available in Paso Robles.
Profits from the sale of Warrior are split 50/50 with Operation Surf, an SLO County based organization that helps wounded and injured active duty military and veteran heroes move forward in a positive direction through an epic, life-changing surfing experience.
