2023 Tooth & Nail Squad Series Cabernet Sauvignon, Paso Robles
The 2023 Cabernet Sauvignon bursts from the glass with aromas of plum, black cherry, sandalwood and tobacco leaf. A luscious mouthfeel delivers velvety flavors of black fruits, boysenberry, crème de cassis, mocha and vanilla with hints of gravelly stone. Plump tannins unfold into a soft, enveloping finish.

Winemaking
The grapes were harvested over a period from September 12 through October 9, 2023. After destemming the clusters, Director of Winemaking Jeremy Leffert and his team fermented the fruit in a combination of 10-ton stainless steel tanks, four-ton concrete fermenters and large oak tanks. After seven to 10 days of warm extraction, the new wine was pressed off the skins and into stainless steel tanks to finish fermentation, a maneuver designed to maintain a pure tannin profile while avoiding any uptake of phenolic astringency. After fermentation, the individual lots were aged in French oak barrels (25% new oak) for 10 months prior to final blending with small complements of Petit Verdot and Malbec to flesh out the mouthfeel. The wine was bottled unfined and unfiltered. The resulting wine has the verve, tenacity and vibrancy that you have come to love and expect from Paso Robles Cabernet Sauvignon.

Rob Murray grew up on a family farm in the Central Valley and followed his destiny to California’s Central Coast, where he learned winegrowing from the ground up. It was only after years in the vineyard trenches that Rob felt called to start his own winery – building upon everything he’d learned and mastered in the field. Into this mix he brought his love for art, music, and culture, producing wines and label designs that stir conversation. Rob’s unique backstory sets the tone for Tooth & Nail. He is the visionary and the vibe behind everything we are today.
Sustainably grown in Paso Robles, CA, this is about more than tomorrow. It’s about the future. It begins locally by operating within the bounds of our native resources here on California’s Central Coast. And it extends globally, as we do our part to be a positive force in the world. We farm sustainably because we love the soil, water, and climate that provide everything we need. Each Tooth & Nail wine respects the cosmic power of these natural elements.
“We want to create a whole new set of expectations and possibilities for every generation of wine drinker.” Rob Murray, grower and founder
