RATINGS

98+ Jeb Dunnuck

...offers blockbuster levels of black and blue fruits as well as notes of graphite, ground pepper, and crushed rock...full-bodied...stays flawlessly balanced and elegant on the palate.

96Vinous / IWC

Intense cherry, dark berry, allspice, vanilla, smoked meat and candied flowers on the highly perfumed nose. Broad, concentrated cherry liqueur, dark berry and violet pastille flavors turn livelier as the wine opens up. Blends richness and energy with a sure hand and finishes impressively long and spicy, with resonating cherry and floral notes and harmonious tannins that add subtle closing grip.

96James Suckling

...scents of red cherries, blueberries and blood orange with accents of violet, garrigue, tar and forest floor...medium-bodied palate is fresh and silky with pure, layered fruits and a long finish.

95+ The Wine Advocate

PRODUCER

L'Aventure

L’Aventure is a 127-acre estate in Paso Robles. It was established in 1996 by Stephan Asseo, a native of France who studied oenology in Burgundy and later started estates in Bordeaux. He started his winery on the central California Coast in order to be more innovative with blends than the strict French AOC regulations allowed. L’Aventure’s first commercial vintages were in the late 1990s. Flagship wines include Optimus and Estate Cuvee, both of which are Cabernet Sauvignon/Syrah blends. Robert M. Parker Jr. has written that “Asseo continues to go from strength to strength, producing a fabulous portfolio of wines that makes L’Aventure one of the bright, shining reference points for the region. This is one of the California Central Coast superstars…”

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.
