RATINGS

92Wine Enthusiast

There is a great core of black plum and dark berry to the nose...also a fresh rose-petal component. It's brisk on the palate with crisp damson plum, raspberry and melon flavors, accented by a slight gravel minerality.

91Wine Spectator

Lithe and expressive, with elegantly layered raspberry, garrigue and pepper notes that glide on a long finish toward polished tannins.

91Vinous / IWC

Lively aromas of cherry, ripe red berries and pungent flowers, along with a smoky mineral nuance that builds in the glass. Sappy bitter cherry and raspberry flavors are joined by lavender and exotic spice nuances that build steadily on the back half. Fine-grained tannins contribute shape and grip to a lively, persistent finish that features resonating floral and spice notes.

90+ The Wine Advocate

...wild blackberries, black cherries, chargrill, potpourri and blue fruit hints with a spicy undercurrent. It's light to medium-bodied, intense and earthy with juicy acidity and a long, berry-laced finish.

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.
