2022 Arling Blaze Eternal Embrace Cabernet Sauvignon Paso Robles

Eternal Embrace is the creation of Arling Blaze, a boutique project built on Napa-level expertise and a commitment to quality. Initially crafted by Napa veteran Chad Alexander (known for his work at the prestigious Mt. Veeder’s Hess Collection), this project now thrives under the guidance of Robert Smith.

Robert’s experience reads like a winemaking masterclass. He started at top Napa Valley wineries like Quintessa, Seven Stones, and Covert Estate, even spending time in South Africa to refine his skills. At Quixote Winery, he perfected his craft, mastering age-worthy Cabernet and Petite Sirah. Today, he’s celebrated for creating wines that bring together rich fruit flavors and a smooth, elegant structure.

Robert’s journey through some of the world’s top vineyards and mentors, including Aaron Pott and Philippe Melka, has infused this wine with exceptional finesse and complexity. With his signature touch, Eternal Embrace is a testament to the art of winemaking, capturing both depth and immediate appeal.

Vibrant and full of energy, this 2022 Paso Robles Cab delivers pure California sunshine in a glass. Bursting with ripe blackberry and dark cherry, it has a playful edge while still capturing Paso’s signature richness.

With 10% American oak lending hints of sweet spice and a touch of cedar, it’s both lively and structured—compact, punchy, and undeniably captivating.
