RATINGS

93Wine Spectator

Bold smoky peppered beef and blackberry aromas open to deep, structured currant, licorice and crushed stone flavors that end with refined tannins.

91The Wine Advocate

...ripe, modern styled, sweetly fruited and decadent wine that offers lots of blackberry and currant fruits intermixed with notes of barbecue smoke, pepper, licorice and hints of oak.

91Vinous / IWC

Ripe dark berries and hints of vanilla, mocha and woodsmoke on the perfumed nose. Sweet blackberry and spicecake flavors deepen with air while retaining their vivacity. Smoothly combines power and elegance and finishes very long and smooth, with sneaky tannins framing the plush, sweet dark fruit.

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.
