RATINGS

97Vinous / IWC

...highly expressive bouquet evokes ripe red/blue fruits, incense and potpourri, along with emerging mineral, cola and vanilla flourishes. Shows superb clarity and powerful thrust to the concentrated boysenberry, black raspberry and cherry flavors, which deftly blend richness and energy. Finishes extremely long and spicy with resounding florality and rounded tannins that make a late appearance.

93Wine Spectator

Bold and expressive, with polished, multilayered black raspberry, smoky meat and cracked pepper flavors that pick up richness and speed toward refined tannins.

92Jeb Dunnuck

Loads of sweet kirsch and strawberry fruits are interwoven with notes of violets, spice, and incense. Medium to full-bodied, rounded, and hedonistic...

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.
