The Paso Robles CAB Collective is proud to welcome four marque wineries to our growing ranks.
The addition of Clos Solène, The Farm Winery, RN Estate Vineyard & Winery and San Antonio Winery significantly strengthens our efforts to further cement the region’s reputation as a leading producer of high quality and age-worthy Bordeaux-style red wines.
“Insiders know Paso Robles is home to some of the best Cab ever produced, and the Collective is ensuring the rest of the world knows it and, most importantly, has an opportunity to experience it,” says Guillaume Fabre, Clos Solène founder and winemaker. “We’re quite excited to be a part of this community effort.”
The new CAB Collective wineries:
Clos Solène’s founder Guillaume Fabre has winemaking in his blood. Coming from France’s Languedoc, Guillaume came to Paso Robles in 2004 and launched his label (a tribute to his wife, Solène). Since then, Guillaume has crafted scores of envelope-pushing 90+-rated small-lot wines, from Cabernet Sauvignon to dessert wines. Guillaume’s talent and infectious energy have made him the darling among the winemakers of Tin City, the up-and-coming craft wine community in Paso Robles.
San Antonio Winery is one of the most storied wineries in California. Founded in 1917, this original “urban winery” was one of the few producers in Los Angeles to survive Prohibition (Yes, L.A. was once a haven for wineries – and even vineyards). The family-owned winery has expanded and now includes a winery and tasting room in Paso Robles, where their tantalizing Cabernet Sauvignon is a favorite among visitors and locals alike.
The founders of The Farm Winery not only make top-scoring Cabernet Sauvignon, they are truly living out the American wine dream. During a couples vacation in Napa 30-some years ago, Santiago Achaval and his companions were smitten by the vineyards and the winemaking lifestyle. A few years later they found themselves in Paso Robles, declaring it “God’s country” and planted their wine roots. Since then, The Farm and winemaker Achaval have earned leagues of fans and garnered numerous awards.
RN Estate Vineyard & Winery is blessed with envy-inducing hilltop fields that boast cool nights and well-drained slopes of sandy clay loam with traces of limestone and river stones. The quality of the grapes and their winemaking finesse are why RN Estate crafts some of the most food-friendly wines in California.
