The Line Shack 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon was produced from small estate vineyards in the new San Antonio Valley AVA in the heart of the Santa Lucia Mountain Range. At elevations reaching up to 1,300 feet and approximately 12 miles inland from the Pacific Ocean, these vineyards yield intense Cabernet Sauvignon varietal characteristics and complex flavors. Although this new winegrowing region is not typically known for its big, bold reds, owner/winemaker Bob Balentine proves that the area can produce some exciting Cabernet Sauvignon, and the critics agree. Awarded a Silver Medal from the San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition and a Silver Medal at the Dallas Morning News Wine Competition, Line Shack’s 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon is a collage of mountain-grown fruit with an array of cherry, red currants, cola and vanilla oak spice flavors wrapped around balanced tannins and a smooth finish. A small percentage of the grapes came from Paso Robles’ Sunbelt vineyard, which contributed the cherry and berry-like flavors in the finished wine. Try pairing the 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon with grilled steaks and hearty red-sauced pastas.
