Sharon Weeks Cattoo Reserve Paso Robles Tempranillo 2019
About the wine
Reserve Tempranillo dripping with decadent dark fruit and barrel-aged smoothness
- For this stunningly smooth Paso Robles red, Sharon brought together robust Tempranillo and a splash of powerful Cabernet, giving you a luscious medley of blueberry and blackberry flavors with a backbone of oaky barrel-aged spice.
- Thanks to your support, Sharon had her pick of high-end grapes from a handful of small vineyards tucked deep in the Paso Robles AVA, and even gave the wine a generous second fermentation and aging in lavish oak barrels for a rich, velvety smoothness that makes every sip better than the last.
- Sharon’s your go-to winemaker for the juiciest, most easy-sipping Paso reds around, and this brand new Tempranillo is sure to quickly become an Angel-favorite. Reward yourself with a few bottles for being such a savvy Angel investor in one of the world’s best Paso Robles winemakers!
Best before
This Tempranillo's barrel-aged elegance will help it age beautifully over the next 5-10 years.
Serving advice
Sharon suggests not opening this wine on the day you receive it to let it recover from the shipping. When you do open it, she also recommends decanting it for 60 minutes prior to drinking to allow the flavors and aromatics to fully develop. This also helps soften the tannins and will give the wine a smoother taste. If you can, Sharon says to also let all her wines rest for a minimum of 2 weeks after receiving them to allow them to recover from the shipping. "The shipping really does impact the aromatics and flavors of the wine and does make a difference on how much you will enjoy your wines" she says.
Food match
For the perfect pairing, Sharon recommends Mediterranean and Middle Eastern dishes like a Moroccan lamb or tagine, roasted pork and game birds like duck or pheasant.
