About First Sight Wines
First Sight Wines believes that sustainability isn't just a buzzword—it's woven into every aspect of their winemaking journey. From their thoughtfully designed labels printed on GTREE™ paper stock (100% post-consumer waste pulp, FSC-certified) to their partnership with VINC for carbon-negative natural cork closures, each bottle represents their dedication to environmental stewardship. Their lightweight glass bottles reduce carbon emissions during transportation, and they've proudly eliminated unnecessary foil capsules, proving that sometimes less truly is more.
Their Commitment
First Sight's dedication to sustainability extends beyond the bottle. Their vineyards proudly carry the Sustainability in Practice (SIP) certification, demonstrating an unwavering commitment to economic viability, environmental stewardship, and social equity. Working closely with G3 Label Group and other environmentally conscious partners, First Sight crafts wines that not only deliver exceptional quality but also support a healthier planet.
Winemaking
The 2022 vintage showcases the distinctive terroir of Paso Robles, where Mediterranean climate patterns and calcareous soils create ideal conditions for growing exceptional Cabernet Sauvignon. The grapes are carefully harvested at optimal ripeness and fermented with minimal intervention to preserve the pure expression of the vineyard. Aging takes place in a thoughtful combination of French and American oak barrels, adding complexity while maintaining the wine's natural character.
Tasting Note
This Cabernet blend presents a deep ruby color in the glass, offering intense aromas of cassis, ripe black cherry, and dried herbs. The palate is generous yet balanced, revealing layers of dark chocolate, crushed blackberry, and mocha. The thoughtful oak treatment contributes subtle notes of vanilla bean and toasted spice, while the small additions of Merlot and Petite Sirah add depth and complexity to the blend. The wine finishes with polished tannins and impressive length, showing both power and elegance.
