Getting to know Paso Robles.
Paso Robles is a very large appellation, not one uniform valley. Coastal openings, mountains, river plains and elevation create different growing conditions across its districts.
How grapes grow here
Warm, dry summer days are followed by much cooler nights. The Templeton Gap and other openings in the Santa Lucia Range pull marine air inland, with the strength of that cooling changing from west to east.
What lies under the vines
More than 30 soil series occur in the AVA. Calcareous shale and other marine sedimentary rocks are important, alongside granite-derived, volcanic, sandy, loamy and clay-rich ground.
How large the region is
- AVA area
- The appellation covers about 612,000 acres.
- Vineyard area
- More than 40,000 acres are planted to wine grapes.
Places within the region
- Western districts
- Adelaida, Willow Creek and Templeton Gap include hill and mountain sites with stronger coastal influence.
- Eastern districts
- Estrella, Geneseo and San Juan Creek include broader plains and hills farther from the Pacific.
Getting to know Cabernet Sauvignon.
Cabernet Sauvignon is a red grape grown in many wine regions. It often makes firmly built wines and is also a common part of red blends.

What to expect in the glass
Regional authorities describe black currant, cherry and plum as common fruit references, with noticeable tannin and possible spice from oak. Ripeness, climate and winemaking can move the wine from lean and herbal to broad and fruit-led.
