HammerSky made just 137 cases of this Paso Robles cabernet, and that’s a shame. It’s a fruit-forward wine, one with lots of character but one which is still easy to drink. Made with 79% cabernet sauvignon, 16% merlot, and 5% cabernet franc, it’s a deeply purple wine, fat with blueberry character, herbal notes, and a moderate tannin backbone. The finish is jammy, with a green olive tinge to it. Quite nice.

Those HammerSky Boys are the total perfect winemakers of the last two years!! Right next to one of Saxum’s private vineyards it’s no wonder ALL of the releases are 90 pts or in the “A” range!!
buy as much as you can!!
this cabernet has a favorite of mine. I tried a lot of the Paso wines and find that HammerSky is a great experience.
