Richard Bruno Giacone Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2019
About the wine
Elegant, barrel-aged Cabernet from a revered Paso Robles vineyard
- This powerhouse Cabernet is overflowing with intense, mouthwatering dark berry flavors, wrapped up with an extra-velvety finish thanks to aging in expensive French oak barrels.
- Thanks to you, Richard can reserve the best Cabernet grown in the Giacone Vineyard of Paso’s Estrella District, where hot days balance cool nights to give high-end Cabernet an ideal spot to thrive.
- If you know and love Richard’s standard award-winning Paso Robles Cab, good news – this is the Reserve-level edition of that wine, but harvested from a single coveted vineyard, it’s a far more limited production each year. Grab a bottle and don’t miss out!
Best before
This is a big wine. Decanting will help it show off its flavors best, as will good old-fashioned cellaring. I expect this wine to be approachable in August 2021, but optimal sometime in late 2021/early 2022, and I expect it will age beautifully through 2042.
Serving advice
Air is your friend. Use an aerator or decanter or simply pour a glass and wait for 20-30 minutes. You can definitely sense the change in the glass within 15-20 minutes of swirling.
Food match
This is the perfect match for a Cowboy cut (thick) New York Steak with sea salt and pepper.

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Richard Bruno
Years Angel-funded: 2013-2023
- Richard Bruno is exactly what we love in a winemaker– the quiet achiever behind the scenes at some of the world's most famous wine brands. He's made wine for Francis Ford Coppola and Don Sebastiani, the latter of which was named Winery of the Year TWICE under his watch.
- During his decades making wine for famous wineries and earning them 90+ scores, he has traveled all up and down California's coastal wine regions. His experience and familiarity with the terrain allow him to sniff out the best-bang-for-buck pretty much anywhere in the state.
- Launching one's wine brand is hard and expensive, so Richard is using Angel funding – and he's able to focus on winemaking, instead of selling wine.
