RATINGS

95Vinous / IWC

...powerful, smoke- and spice-accented bouquet evokes fresh black and blue fruits, succulent flowers, incense and exotic spices. Juicy and broad on the palate, offering deeply concentrated boysenberry, black raspberry, fruitcake and violet pastille flavors that become nervier as the wine stretches out. Shows superb clarity and floral lift on a strikingly long finish framed by velvety, finely interwoven tannins.

95Jeb Dunnuck

More spice, peppery herbs, saddle leather, and underbrush notes...seamless, beautifully balanced, and elegant on the palate, with terrific tannins.

93+ The Wine Advocate

...aromas are notably delineated, wild berry fruits mingling with dried flowers, licorice, dusty earth and bitters, and kaleidoscopic berry fruits and juicy acidity combine for a lifted and spicy palate that offers immediate appeal.

93James Suckling

Sweet berries and fresh flowers on the nose with some ash and tobacco. Wet earth, too. Full-bodied with round, creamy tannins and a juicy finish. Ripe and opulent, but it remains fresh.

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.
