Overview
Dueling Pistols wines intertwine two competing varietals in a 50/50 blend where each varietal's fight for power balances that of the others. The Paso Robles red blend is composed of equal parts of cabernet sauvignon and petite syrah creating a richly textured wine. Each wine is fermented separately then combined in French oak barrels for the aging process.
Aging
18 mos. in French Oak, 30% new. The extended aging allows the two varietals to marry well and balancetannins while smoothing the texture and structure.
Fermentation
Each block is fermented separately then blended together before aging.
