From the heart of Paso Robles’ Willow Creek District, the Midnight Cellars Bordeaux Blend Zenith Estate Cuvee Reserve 2019 captivates with its harmonious blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Petit Verdot. Scoring 92 points, this wine reveals a rich tapestry of dark fruits—think ripe black cherry and plum—interwoven with subtle hints of cedar and a whisper of vanilla from careful oak aging. Its velvety texture and well-structured tannins create a luxurious mouthfeel, making it an excellent choice for a cozy dinner with friends or a celebratory feast featuring roasted lamb or a decadent mushroom risotto. This standout cuvee not only showcases the unique terroir of its origin but also delivers exceptional quality that makes it a smart buy for the quality, especially considering its original retail price of $83.
