“The most recent release of our Quest Paso Robles Red displays a beautiful creamy vanilla nose with hints of sweet mint and cocoa. These aromas continue through the palette and evolve into rich flavors of blackberry, dark chocolate, fresh tobacco, and a slight herbaceous accent. As the flavor evolves bright acidity coats the palette and soft supple tannins create the rich integrated finish.” -Winery
The Cabernet & Cabernet Franc are harvested and fermented individually by vineyard lots and then aged in American oak barrels. The lots were racked twice during barrel aging, blended together, and put into 65% New American oak barrels for an additional 3 months. Just prior to bottling the wine is filtered. The 2020 Quest Red Wine was aged for a total of 20 months in oak, blended in the spring of 2022, and bottled in July of 2022.
