A homage to Stephan Asseo of L’Aventure Winery became an obsession. Sourced from exceptional vineyard sites around Paso Robles, San Luis Obispo, and south to Edna Valley, this wine is cultivated meticulously by the farmers who have become My Favorite Neighbors. With their dedication to the land, we can craft a world-class wine without any shortcuts or compromises. Welcome to our Neighborhood.
Eric Jensen (Wine Maker) "We made My Favorite Neighbor as a celebration of people, community, and those little moments made even better by a bottle of simply great wine. It’s a wine made to be shared wherever life finds you: over sunsets, on the patio, at the table. Inspired by the close friendship between two neighboring wineries, My Favorite Neighbor pays tribute to favorite neighbors everywhere. Our wines showcase our thoughtful farming practices and the communities that make us. Welcome to the neighborhood. We’re so glad you’re here."
The 2021 My Favorite Neighbor Cabernet Sauvignon fills the glass with a seamless culmination of black cherry, cassis, and warm spice. On the palate, you are rewarded with a full body displaying blackberry and plum with underlying notes of tobacco. An additional layer of red fruit and a pop of acid, combined with well-integrated tannins and a beautifully crafted structure, leave nothing to be desired. This is a serious wine that can be enjoyed and respected by all.

The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon is smoking good, with a full-bodied, rich, opulent wine that has classic cassis and darker blue fruits as well as leafy tobacco, baking spice, and bouquet garni notes. This textured, ripe, sexy wine stays nicely balanced, has ripe tannins, and a great finish. It's another awesome value.

Dark berries, cedar, walnuts, sweet spices, and pencil shavings on the nose. Full-bodied, polished, and linear, with a chalky texture to the tannins. Wide and layered. Beautiful fruit. Lingering and refined. Drink or hold.
