RATINGS

100Jeb Dunnuck

...incredible array of blackberries, ground pepper, violets, and herbes de Provence all...full-bodied, deep, and concentrated, yet as weightless as they come. It shows more gamey, exotic notes with time in the glass, it’s perfectly balanced, and it’s just an incredible wine...

96James Suckling

Black olives, black asphalt, black fruit and violets on the nose. Black pepper, too. Full-bodied with very fine, creamy and velvet-textured tannins that run the length of the wine. It goes on and on. Great length.

95Wine Spectator

A dynamic red that's rich, deeply structured and plump with personality, offering accents of blackberry, licorice, rose petal and herbes de Provence that finish with plush tannins.

94+ The Wine Advocate

...scents of cherries and blueberries with touches of garrigue and mint chocolate...the medium-bodied palate's generous fruits are on full display, supported by fresh acidity and silty tannins...boldly flavored 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.
