This expansive, rugged landscape is famously defined by its extreme diurnal temperature shifts. Blistering daytime heat ensures that grapes achieve magnificent, opulent ripeness, before the evening temperatures plummet dramatically as cool breezes funnel through the Templeton Gap from the Pacific Ocean. This vital nighttime cooling acts as a natural brake, preserving the essential acidity required to keep these deeply concentrated wines beautifully balanced and structured.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"11\"\u003eThe region is mapped into eleven distinct \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"11\" data-index-in-node=\"42\"\u003eAmerican Viticultural Areas (AVAs)\u003c\/b\u003e, sitting upon some of the highest concentrations of calcareous limestone soils found anywhere in the state.

Patelin is French slang for \"neighbourhood\" and the wine incorporates fruit from several of the top Rhône vineyards in Paso Robles, each vineyard selected for its quality. Like many red wines from the Rhône Valley, it is based on the dark fruit, mineral and spice of Syrah, with the brightness and fresh acidity of Grenache, the structure and meatiness of Mourvèdre and a small addition of Counoise for complexity. Patelin de Tablas has a savoury, dark, Syrah-driven nose of blackberries, crushed rock, menthol and saddle leather, with a little sweet lift like honey graham crackers. The mouth shows black cherry, loam, and pepper spice, with chalky tannins and flavours of cranberry and freshly turned earth that come out on the finish.

Fruit from the Napa Valley lends complexity whilst Sonoma adds a touch of spice to the blend. Mendocino fruit gives the wine its dark colour, rich, ripe berry flavours and tannins. Fruit from the cooler, windy Monterey appellation produces smaller, more concentrated fruit clusters and the warmer Paso Robles appellation offers fruit-forward notes and riper tannins. Rounding out the blend, fruit from Lodi is characterised by rich flavour and soft texture. Following harvest, the grapes from each vineyard were sorted and de-stemmed, then fermented in individual lots. As the lots aged in oak for 18 months, the barrels are tasted frequently to asses tannin and flavour development. Finally, the lots were blended together to balance the characteristics of each grape growing region. The final 815 wine displays aromas of blackberry and black cherry with notes of clove, vanilla, and brown sugar. The wine opens with dark, concentrated fruit flavours, followed by velvety tannins on the mid-palate and notes of baking spices on the long, textured finish.

A small proportion of Petit Verdot and Petite Sirah is also incorporated into the blend. The mountain slopes offer unique soils and a climate that is ideally suited for responsible sustainable agriculture. The fog cools the vineyards, preserving fresh acidity in the grapes and lengthening the ripening period for the development of complex aromatics. The Fog Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon is easy-to-drink and classic in style. Aromas of black currant intermingle with fresh herbs de Provence and are enticing at the first sip. On the palate, lush Santa Rosa plums mix with spicy black pepper, as the taste of rich caramel fills the palate.
