March 2017
Pash Wines: Debuting in Michigan in the summer of 2014, Pash Cabernet Sauvignon is produced by Pash Wines of Napa and distributed by US Wines Imports of Ann Arbor. Pash is an Australian slang term for tongue kiss; similarly, the wine is succulent and indulgent like a passionate kiss. They specialize in in Cabernet Sauvignon, carefully sourced and blended from progressive growers across California, but predominantly sourced from Paso Robles and Sonoma County. Unfortunately that is about all we know about this enigmatic producer.
