Gorgeous. The label. The wine. The staggering deal — you won’t forget this one. EVER. A great wine at $75? Off the charts at our price...

Nearly 75% OFF. Are you crazy? Are we? Did the planetary poles just reverse? Did I just get hit by a Cabernet-loaded train? All hyperbole aside, honestly, we are FLOORED by this 92-94 point sexy beast and anyone looking for a LOADED, deeply rich and cassis-soaked, intoxicating and terrifically smooth-as-velvet Cabernet should backflip over to the LB app and get twice as much as you think you’ll want – one taste and it’s LIGHTS OUT. Get some then read our notes below (hint: lavender and cassis will figure prominently!!).

If Arbuckle Ridge sounds familiar, we did a sold-out-in-an-hour offer of Scott Saunder’s dark and visceral Petit Verdot a while back and received terabytes of emails for more. So, we upped the ante: CAB! Actually, this lovely is 95% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Cabernet Franc, all hailing from the vineyard Scott manages, planted by his parents in 1992 (“Baby Got Back” was the hit of that excellent year, along with “November Rain” from GnR). Alas, we digress. Scott literally grew up on the vineyard, sneaking out at the early hours to harvest grapes, which set him on his path into winegrowing and winemaking, and undoubtedly wine DRINKING, natch! Its name derives from the magnesium-rich clay soil type of the vineyard, Arbuckle, ranging 500 feet above Paso Robles to the north. He makes a wonderful range of acclaimed wines from this sole, special vineyard, carefully tended and curated.

But what’s it all about in your mouth?? Well, like a Mission: Impossible unending thrill-ride essentially. The level of intense, hyper-polished cassis is sort of hard to grok at first. Paso does it so well, and Scott has nuanced it without losing a drop of power. Once you wrap your happy brain around that, you get a flood of the rest…roasted spices, exotic tropical purple flowers, creme brulee, almond, deep and silky/round. Wildly drinkable and complex, and picks up a cool fresh berry pie thing towards the end. An INSANE crowd-pleaser if we ever EVER had one here at Last Bottle World Headquarters – just do what you need to. Did we mention nearly 75% OFF?

Go forth, warriors!

92-94 POINTS
"Based on 95% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Cabernet Franc and aging in 80% new French oak, the 2023 Cabernet Sauvignon shows impressive, youthful aromatics of cassis, spring flowers, spicy wood, and candied violets in a more lifted, floral, exotic profile. Medium to full-bodied, pure, nicely concentrated, and balanced, it's another promising wine from this producer that should develop beautifully." -Jeb Dunnuck
91 POINTS
"Toasted-spice aromas need time to integrate. At this stage, they lend a cafe mocha and vanilla creme-brulee character to ripe plums and blackberries. Steeped-tea tannins extend through the finish. Drink or hold." -James Suckling
90 POINTS
"The 2023 Cabernet Sauvignon is dark and rich, displaying a blend of sweet lavender and crushed blackberries accentuated by hints of violet pastille. It sweeps across the palate with soft and round textures, offset by tart wild berry fruits as grippy tannins slowly emerge toward the close. Lightly structured, this leaves a gentle tug of fine-grained grip and dark inner florals, tapering off with admirable length." -Vinous
90 POINTS
"Cherry cola, nutmeg and mushroom aromas show on the nose of this bottling. There's not a ton of texture to the palate, where black cherry and minty spice elements align." -Wine Enthusiast
