Winemaker Notes
Pure Paso Robles, this rich yet smooth Cabernet Sauvignon is loaded with elegant aromas of blackberry, blueberry, pepper, and cassis which lead to flavors of dark red fruits with hints of cedar spice, cocoa powder and caramelized oak. These persistent flavors create a long lingering finish. While very accessible now, this wine will continue to evolve nicely for years to come.

With an abundance of blue and black fruit to sweeten, the chalky tannins and earth "soil" play up the savory and mineral tones of this rustic red from the Niven Family of California's Central Coast. This wine over-delivers with serious big oak-caramel and black cherry coming in from the mid-palate to finish.

Smashed blueberries, black gravel, caramel and a touch of oak smoke show on the nose of this stylishly labeled, widely available bottling from the Niven family. Juicy blackberry fruit leads the palate, bolstered by roasted coffee and shaved-chocolate flavors and rounded out by chalky tannins and strong acidic energy. Editors' Choice.

Ripe fruit and lots of wood are elements often found in many of the best red wines from Paso Robles, and indeed, the 2013 True Myth fulfills the role handsomely. This wine boasts of beautifully-ripened black fruit and is accented nicely with handsome oak. Serve it a grilled ribeye and enjoy the wine's synergy with the beef.

A specialty appellation winery, True Myth produces wines made of varietals from specific regions along California’s Central Coast. We grow the fruit for our brightly tropical Chardonnay in the Edna Valley, the coolest wine region in the state, and our gutsy bold Cabernet Sauvignon is from the distinctively warmer Paso Robles region only about 30 miles to the north. Both wines are rich and delicious, each speaking to the diversity of San Luis Obispo County.
Owned by the Niven family; pioneers of the Edna Valley AVA, farmers of the oldest continually harvested vines in the region, and previous owners of a Paso Robles Cab ranch. We have been a part of San Luis Obispo County’s farming history for more than four decades.
