RATINGS

97Jeb Dunnuck

...followed by a thrillingly perfumed red loaded with notions of kirsch liqueur, peppery herbs, candied flowers, and wild strawberries. It's full-bodied, round, seamless, and incredibly polished on the palate, with gorgeous tannins.

96James Suckling

Expressive nose of cherries, forest berries, wild strawberries, warm herbs and some mushrooms. Full body with fine tannins. Ample, well-rounded and creamy, with a silky core of cherries at the center and a vibrant array of spices and dried herbs bringing so much vitality to the long, focused finish.

94+ Vinous / IWC

...fig paste and spice cake are complicated by earth tones, crushed rocks and garrigue...crisp cherry-berry fruits and a cascade of sweet spices, all balanced by crunchy minerality. Hints of blood orange resonate along with edgy tannins, as zesty acidity maintains a juicy persona.

93The Wine Advocate

...bursting with layers of baked raspberry, pomegranate, orange peel, Angostura bitters and earthy undertones...medium-bodied palate is elegant with understated, super-spicy fruit...has a frame of chalky tannins, vibrant acidity and a long finish with a flourish of spice.

93Wine Spectator

Sleek, stylish and ripe, with lively flavors of cherry and raspberry that take on savory grilled anise and black pepper notes while building richness toward polished tannins.

PRODUCER

Linne Calodo

Linne Calodo was founded in the late 1990s by Matt Trevisan and Justin Smith, former college roommates at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo on California’s Central Coast. Trevisan worked at Justin Winery after graduating in biochemistry and within a few years he and Smith started Linne Calodo. Smith branched off on his own in 1998 to start Saxum. Today Linne Calodo produces a portfolio of Rhone-style reds and whites, and Zinfandel. Along with Saxum, it is one of the area’s hot cult wine producers. Robert M. Parker Jr. calls Trevisan “one of the more impressive winemakers in California…All these cuvees possess singular names as well as personalities.”

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.
