RATINGS

95James Suckling

A full-bodied red with lots of rich dark fruit, meat and toasted oak. Creamy and round. Fruity astringency to this that gives energy and focus. Mineral and salted-caramel notes at the end.

95Jeb Dunnuck

Plums, blackberries, ground pepper, and graphite notes all emerge from the 2019 Aspire, which has plenty of background chocolaty oak, full body, ripe yet certainly present tannins, and a great finish.

94+ The Wine Advocate

...broody tones of cast iron and blue fruits, with wafts of purple flowers and aniseed...full-bodied palate is well-framed, with grainy tannins and fresh acidity, and it finishes minerally.

94Wine Spectator

Generous and richly structured, with dynamic raspberry and blueberry flavors that take on dark chocolate and smoked pepper accents as this builds toward medium-grained tannins.

94Vinous / IWC

Ripe red and blue fruits, incense, potpourri, mocha and exotic spices on the intensely perfumed nose. Alluringly sweet boysenberry, black raspberry, oak spice and lavender violet pastille flavors are energized by smoky mineral and cracked pepper flourishes. Shows impressive depth but comes off lively, showing strong, spicy thrust on a long, youthfully tannic and floral-dominated finish.

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.
