Vineyard Notes
Paso Robles is a unique region as it has one of the largest diurnal temperature swings of all California appellations. The days are very hot, but the nights cool down, sometimes seeing around a 40–50 degree temperature swing from day to night. This allow the grapes to develop bold flavors and tannins, while still being able to hold their acidity. The long growing season allows the grapes to fully ripen. Paso Robles has lots of diversity in its soils, elevation and rainfall. The region has about 30 different soil series including calcareous and limestone.
Wine Enthusiast: 90 Points
Savory, slightly reductive aromas of damp soil, charcoal and tar meet with dark berry on the nose of this bottling, which steadily opens up with air. The palate's asphalt minerality gives way to dried plum, dark spice and espresso bean, making for a familiar experience.
