RATINGS

95Jeb Dunnuck

...followed by terrific aromatics of gamey red and black fruits, ground pepper, iron, and tapenade nuances. It's a big, lush, layered red that brings terrific Paso Robles fruit while staying beautifully balanced, layered, and elegant on the palate.

94The Wine Advocate

...tar and earth to reveal blackberries, blueberries, lavender, tea leaves and conifer-like undertones...medium-bodied palate features restrained, perfumed fruit supported by chalky tannins and refreshing acidity, and it has a long, nuanced finish.

92Wine Spectator

A dark and gutsy red, with deep flavors of blackberry and cherry accented by smoked meat, cracked pepper and espresso tones as this builds structure toward firm tannins.

92Wine Enthusiast

Blackberry aromas are laced in violet and loamy soil on the nose... Polished, pleasurable flavors of blackberry are spiced with pepper and herb on the palate.

REGION

United States, California, Central Coast, Paso Robles

Paso Robles AVA is midway between San Francisco and Los Angeles, and it is considered one of the West Coast’s most exciting winemaking regions. With its hot, sometimes searingly dry and sunny weather, it is especially good country for growing warm climate grapes such as Syrah, Grenache and Mourvedre. Because many Paso Robles wineries have been successful with blending these grapes into Rhone Valley-style wines, it is known as the Rhone zone of California. The AVA was created in 1983 and there are 32,000 vineyard acres. In late 2014 the AVA was divided into 11 smaller sub-appellations, so starting with 2015 vintages labeling will become more specific on Paso Robles wines, which will now also list sub-appellations. Located in San Luis Obispo County, Paso Robles, the town and its surrounding area, was traditionally a farming and ranching region. But from a few dozen wineries in the early 1990s to more than 200 today, the area is quickly becoming known for wine and risk-taking winemakers.
