This wine has a substantial fan base, and with good reason. It’s priced right, and this vintage is reined in nicely, delivering bright blackberry and bramble bush aromas that are jazzed up by proper pepper and spice notes. The palate doesn’t disappoint, with fine translation of the nose into full flavors. It’s unashamedly oaky, and shows a touch of heat, but it’s appealing all the same. A blend of fruit from 27 different Paso Robles vineyards.
