Deadeye Red Blend: A Blend of Precision and Boldness
Deadeye Red Blend by Provenance Vineyards is a bold and flavorful wine that showcases the best of Paso Robles' signature style. Made with careful vineyard selection and expert blending techniques, this wine is a true reflection of the region's terroir.
The Deadeye Cabernet Sauvignon starts with enticing aromas of currant, black licorice, and hints of coffee. On the palate, it offers opulent, sweet-fruit flavors balanced with subtle notes of anise, peppercorns, and a touch of tobacco. The wine has a rich texture and firm backbone, with a plush mid-palate finish that showcases textured minerality and bright acidity.
Paso Robles, located in the Estrella District, benefits from a unique growing environment. The region experiences warm to hot days with plenty of direct sunlight, and cooler night-time temperatures. This climate allows the vineyards to achieve impressive power and ripeness while maintaining high acidity levels. Additionally, the Santa Lucia mountains create a partial barrier, protecting the vineyards from cool and moist Pacific weather systems. The region's unique geology, with calcareous soils, further contributes to the distinct character of the wines produced here.
In terms of winemaking, the Deadeye Cabernet Sauvignon undergoes a night harvest to keep the fruit cool and preserve its natural acidity. It goes through a cold soak for color extraction, followed by a two-week primary fermentation in stainless steel tanks for structure. The wine then undergoes malolactic fermentation in a combination of 20% new and neutral American oak barrels for mid-palate integration.
Overall, the Deadeye Red Blend by Provenance Vineyards is a refined and expressive wine that pairs well with rich and savory meals. Its bold flavors, balanced acidity, and textured minerality make it a standout choice for those seeking a distinctive Paso Robles wine experience.
