RATINGS

94Wine Enthusiast

...lots of meaty notes on the nose, including both the charred edges and raw center of a prime rib slice, alongside blueberry and cedar oil. The blueberry core holds strong into the sip, where finely chiseled tannins provide a chalky mouthfeel and carry more flavors of black olive and charred wood.

92Jeb Dunnuck

...floral, black and blue fruit, graphite and charcoal scented effort that's full-bodied, concentrated and rich. Despite its size, it stays nicely balanced, with good freshness and building tannin.

91+ The Wine Advocate

...expressive warm blackberries, preserved plums, Chinese five spice, dark chocolate and charcoal notes with a waft of violets. The medium to full-bodied palate is built like a brick house, sporting a firm frame and taut, muscular fruit, finishing with persistent exotic spice notes.

REGION

United States, California, Central Coast, Paso Robles, Adelaida District

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.
