Once known for its thermal mineral springs, Paso is located halfway between San Francisco and Los Angeles and is now known for producing world class wine. Iron Spring and Sand Spring were two of the popular springs that propelled Paso into a bustling destination known as "California's oldest watering place" in the mid-late 1800s. Iron + Sand is a nostalgic nod to the early times of Paso and Iron and Sand springs. Iron and sand are also important elements in the wine's classic Paso terroir as the sturdy iron trellising supports the bearing vines and the alluvial, well-drained sandy soils are the perfect match for Cabernet Sauvignon
