Rich, red Bordeaux-style blends are perhaps what Paso Robles is best known for. Torch Cellars’ 2014 Illumination is comprised of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Malbec, and 25% Petit Verdot. On the nose, concentrated aromas of black currants, blackberry, cherry, violets, blueberries, plum, chocolate and olives all mingle together and mirror the flavors on the full bodied yet well balanced palate. A touch of spicy oak, earthy tannins, and moderate acidity round out this bold and memorable wine.
