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!

Drinks a little hot this time around and I opened it at the correct temp. Concentrated with ripe tannins and some interesting wet rock nuances in the palate. Quality for the price is definitely there. — a month ago
