Wine Description:
Tolliver Ranch in Paso Robles, bordered by the Estrella River, boasts unique sandy-gravely soils with decomposed granite, unlike the region's typical profiles. Ideal for big red varietals like Petite Sirah, Syrah, and Cabernet, it enjoys a long growing season. This Cabernet Blend is full-bodied, revealing aromas of red currants, cassis, and red fruit, with hints of Christmas spice, pine, and dried leaves. The layered palate offers ripe blackberry and plum flavors, surprising brightness, and a mouthwatering texture, leading to a firm finish with lingering tannins. The Tooth & Nail label showcases John James Audubon's original artwork depicting Red Tailed Hawks' survival struggle in the early 1830s, fighting "Tooth & Nail" for dominance.
