I have had the pleasure of tasting every vintage of this wine since the inaugural 2013 vintage, and the line certainly accomplishes what its namesake intended – to show that Paso Robles is worthy of international attention. It’s “Paso bold” to be sure, but it’s nuanced with spice and pepper notes. This may be the most age-worthy wine in the series – right now it’s still coming together, but the structured fine-grained tannins bode well for a long life – much like a life well lived has for the proprietor. We get the benefit of both, and here’s to that! A Platinum Award winner at the 2021 San Diego International Wine & Spirits Challenge.
