New Flight Features 2021 Vintage Wines from Top Cabernet Vineyards in Westside Paso Robles
April 10th – Paso Robles, CA—My Favorite Neighbor today announced its new Vineyard Designates Tasting, featuring the flagship My Favorite Neighbor Cabernet Sauvignon alongside offerings from four top sites in the westside coastal mountains of Paso Robles: Parrish, Moonsprings, Chalk Block and Lopai.
The five Cabernet Sauvignon wines in the tasting flight are all from the 2021 vintage, providing guests with a rare horizontal comparative tasting experience that showcases the distinct attributes of each terroir. As guests taste through the wines, a My Favorite Neighbor wine educator shares the story of each vineyard along with soil samples and an orientation map.
“This tasting provides an incredible opportunity for wine lovers to experience how terroir has such a big impact on flavor and character,” said My Favorite Neighbor Tasting Manager Micah Park. “These are all Cabernet-based wines from the same vintage, grown in relatively close geographical proximity, and yet the distinctions on the palate are very striking. It shows why our winemakers are so excited to work with these different growers and vineyards.”
The My Favorite Neighbor Vineyard Designates Tasting costs $40 per patron and is available on Thursdays through Sundays by reservation at MyFavoriteNeighbor.com. The My Favorite Neighbor tasting room is located at the Booker Vineyard estate at 2644 Anderson Road in the Willow Creek District of Paso Robles.
Wines of Mentorship & Collaboration
My Favorite Neighbor Cabernet Sauvignon is a wine born of mentorship and collaboration in the Paso Robles wine country. Today, the partner growers behind this wine continue to lend a neighborly spirit that does justice to its name.
“It’s important for us to work with growers who are like minded, who care deeply about what goes in the bottle, and who are eager for their grapes to be made into great wines,” said My Favorite Neighbor founder Eric Jensen.
The flagship My Favorite Neighbor Cabernet Sauvignon is a blend of fruit from these select vineyards. In recent vintages, My Favorite Neighbor has also started making limited-production vineyard designates from its favorite sites, in order to showcase the incredible work of each grower and the quality of wines from their respective terroirs. This expanding portfolio of vineyard designates inspired the creation of the new tasting flight.
