Notes from the Winemaker:
Punch Cabernet Sauvignon is crafted with extra lots from our colleagues’ wineries, home vineyards, and other insider locations, mostly in Napa Valley and Sonoma. Yet, California is loaded with amazing vineyards (e.g., Paso Robles just scored its first 100-point wine) and we’re not afraid to go the extra mile. So don’t be fooled by the California appellation on our label. We’re betting that Punch quality speaks for itself and that our customers won’t care that we don’t have an expensive address – or price.
Wine Style – Classic Style, Smooth Finish
Punch Vineyards has all the hallmarks of a luxury Cabernet Sauvignon: concentration, complex flavors of black cherry, blackberry, mocha, spice and other notes. Toasty oak, soft, assertive tannins. Good structure and a long finish. Also, Punch Cab is unusually smooth, so you don’t have to wait 15 years to drink it. The grapes come predominantly from Spring Mountain with a small amount of Diamond Mountain and Paso Robles grapes.
The first “Super Californianâ€Â.
Do not be fooled by the “California†label appellation. This is how Punch keeps quality super high and name droppers away.
Ratings & Reviews
"Pleasantly rustic, with gritty tannins and a chewy texture woven among a tight mix of loamy earth, dried currant and dried flowers, firming on the finish. Best from 2013 through 2024. 225 cases made." – JL (Oct 2012)
