The Story

Rooted in the vision of founder Jeff Wilkes and carried forward by the Miller Family, this Cabernet Sauvignon reflects the character and diversity of California’s Central Coast. Crafted by veteran winemaker Jonathan Nagy, it captures the richness of Paso Robles Highlands District fruit—ripe blackberry, dark cherry, and black currant—layered with spice and toasty oak from aging in French and American barrels. Bold yet refined, it’s a true expression of coastal terroir and the enduring legacy of J. Wilkes.
