RATINGS

94+ The Wine Advocate

...tobacco leaves, soy sauce and garrigue to a core of black plum, redcurrant and lavender...full-bodied palate is powerful without over-ripeness or weightiness. It has a core of dark, savory fruit framed by pleasantly chewy tannins and just enough freshness to highlight spicy perfume on the long finish.

93James Suckling

Mixed berries, cherries, dried herbs, baking spices and some dry earth on the nose. Full body with fine, firm tannins. Ample palate with volume and weight. Well-built, with a focused finish with excellent length.

92-95Vinous / IWC

Spicy with peppery florals and crushed wild berry fruits...seductively smooth with ripe red and blue fruits that easily wash across the palate, guided by juicy acidity. For all its depth and power, the Muze finishes remarkably fresh yet potent with a bitter tug of grippy tannins.

15.5Jancis Robinson

Rosemary and blackberry – rich nose. Sweet, ripe blackberry and blueberry jam on the palate with moderate acidity. Finish is a tad short and sweet.

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.
