Mina Mesa – Cabernet Sauvignon Hazeline Reserve 2021
Paso Robles AVA – California, USA 🇺🇸

Overview
A family-owned project led by Troy Javadi in Paso Robles’ Tin City, Mina Mesa crafts approachable, fruit-driven wines that celebrate California’s Central Coast terroir. This bottling is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon from Hazeline Reserve vineyards.

Aromas & Flavors
Dark concentrated berries, ripe black currant, and plum layered with subtle hints of vanilla and spice.

Mouthfeel
Full-bodied and generous with smooth tannins and a long, juicy finish. Bold yet crafted to remain approachable and balanced.

Food Pairings
Perfect with grilled ribeye, braised short ribs, smoky BBQ, or a hearty mushroom risotto.

Verdict
A Paso Cab that overdelivers—lush, bold fruit meets structure, showing both richness and easy drinkability. A true expression of the Central Coast spirit. Cheers!

God Chablis. Mineral och ljus frukt. Smakar något kraftigare än väntat med hög syra. Kommer kanske ändå inte upp i paritet med mina favoritviner. — 5 years ago

Vingård planeter 1945. Bush vines. 17 var ett svalare år tydligen och vinet kändes något svalare än vad jag väntade mig. Fina komplexa doft- och smaklager. Mörka och ljusa bär, pastill, torkade citrusskal, blomjord. Bra längd. Först ut bland mina dyrare sommarviner. Värt 795 kr? Nja. — 4 years ago
