Shroud Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve 2022

The original Shroud Mountain wins raves from customers and critics, and we're thrilled to introduce this new, barrel-aged Reserve edition. It's a delicious step-up in quality, made with the utmost care from grape to glass.

Shroud Mountain Reserve is a distinctive Cabernet from Paso Robles—a true hidden gem of California wine country. Located halfway between San Francisco and Los Angeles, it boasts stunning views, a pioneering spirit and excellent wines—without the bloated pricing of Napa and other big-name districts.

This must-try red is from the historic Margarita Vineyard, which was planted by the legendary Robert Mondavi in the mid-1990s. After harvest, the wine was aged 16 months in neutral and new French oak barrels, which added to the complexity in flavor and texture.

Look forward to inviting aromas of violet, pomegranate, cedar and cocoa. On the palate, enjoy flavors of ripe red plum, blackberry and red currant. Beautifully balanced, integrated tannins line the long finish, making it an excellent match for a meal featuring fine meats, artisanal pastas or aged cheeses. This is a complex, elegant wine that Napa Cab fans would happily enjoy.

P.S. Plus, here's a detail to share with guests as you pour: Shroud Mountain is named for the fog that rolls in off the Pacific Ocean and blankets the local vineyards, helping to cool the vines and create long ripening seasons (which enriches and deepens the flavors in the grapes).
