Very dark in the glass, this showers the nose with complex aromas of dark cocoa, black olive, peppercorn, tar, espresso and mint. There’s a creamy and focused cassis kick to the sip, but it’s the slightly bitter coffee and charred earth aspects that are most compelling.

The Origins of Pius: A Passion for Terroir-Driven Winemaking
Pius is a boutique winery dedicated to crafting terroir-driven, small-batch wines from Paso Robles, California. Founded by Anthony Versochi, a highly regarded winemaker at Daou, the estate embodies his deep-rooted passion for wine. Though Anthony initially pursued economics, his agricultural and wine heritage eventually led him back to the vines, culminating in the creation of Pius in 2018.
A Debut Vintage Rooted in Excellence
The debut vintage, Pius Cabernet Sauvignon 2018, showcases the meticulous care and devotion behind the label. Produced in limited quantities, this wine embodies the spirit of the Adelaida District’s premier terroirs. Its striking label, inspired by Byzantine art and crafted by renowned illustrator Marc Burckhardt, symbolizes the vintners’ dedication to excellence, with subtle imagery reflecting the wine’s origins and the founder’s personal passion.
Pius Estates officially launched in 2020, with the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon as its flagship offering, setting the tone for future releases that promise to maintain the same uncompromising quality and artistic vision. This is more than a wine—it’s a testament to the devotion and artistry that define the Pius brand.
