2022 F.A.
Mac's Bordeaux-Rhône blend! Renamed in 2021 as F.A. "a thing that has already happened or been decided before those affected hear about it. Leaving them with no option but to accept it."
Paso Robles is known for its fantastic climate for growing Rhône's and Cabernet Sauvignon, and this is a blend of our Estate Vineyard, Paper Street, and Armory. The Cab, Syrah, and Petit Verdot coming off of these vineyards are too good to do anything other than their own bottling, which is why it is a Fait Accompli.
