Not Your Typical Cab.
Paso Robles is home to some of the finest Cabernet Sauvignon in California, and the 2023 vintage from Kettlebell Vineyards exemplifies the region’s exceptional winemaking potential.
Nestled in the Estrella District, Kettlebell’s vineyard benefits from Paso Robles' unique micro-appellations and ideal geographical conditions. The warm days ripen the grapes to perfection, while cool breezes from the Pacific Ocean, just 18 miles away, enhance their acidity and balance.
The result is a terroir-driven Cabernet with a rich, full-bodied profile that Paso Robles is renowned for. Tasting notes from the 2023 Kettlebell Cabernet reveal a bold yet harmonious wine, featuring layers of dark fruit, hints of spice, and a beautifully balanced structure.
“Paso Robles has become the most sought after AVA for Quality and Value. Cabernet lovers have grown to expect full flavored wines with great muscle tone on a refined structure of strength.”
— Dan Goettel, Founder, Kettlebell Cabernet

Notes from the Winemaker.
It wouldn’t be Kettlebell if the wine did not have a weighty heavy component and full rich over the top black fruit profile. Dense fruit, rich full middle palate is the signature style of the wine.
The long finish is the Reward.
