The Paso Robles AVA delivers a classic, rich Cabernet Sauvignon with bold, concentrated flavors. Slow Press Cabernet is aged in oak barrels for 11 months, and delivers notes of dark fruits and blackberries that complement robust and velvety tannins.
This wine undergoes malolactic fermentation and is then aged in American oak barrels for 9 months. This process delivers bold, concentrated flavors of dark fruits, blackberries and cassis, with notes of tobacco and leather. Its robust structure and firm tannins grip the taste buds, leaving a velvety finish.
Slow Press wines are a tribute to the true craft of wine making. Our vintners know that great wines are worth waiting for, so they’ve slowed down the process from start to finish.

Wine Enthusiast 92 points - Look for a distinctly peaty aroma, with hints of smoked fish, bacon and mesquite. The palate shows peat smoke from the first sip plus an undercurrent of honey, finishing with black pepper heat. Water brings out a spearmint note and a touch more vanilla..Kara Newman, December/2017
Ultimate Beverage Challenge 94 points - Heavily peated and smoky at first, with undercurrents of smoked meats, baked pear, pistachio, and vanilla. Fruit and nuts on the palate give way to intense smoke and savory flavors which seem to last forever. Rich and decidedly powerful. - 2018 Ultimate Spirits Challenge (Tried and True Award)(Finalist).April/2018
The original Laphroaig, distilled following traditions laid down by Ian Hunter over 75 years ago. In making Laphroaig, malted barley is dried over a peat fire. The smoke from this peat, found only on Islay, gives Laphroaig its particularly rich flavour. Those enjoying the 10 Year Old will first notice the bold, smoky taste, followed by a hint of seaweed and a surprising sweetness. This full-bodied variant is the foundation of all Laphroaig expressions and comes with a long finish.
