Cinquain, Paso Robles (California) 2012

Jun 1, 2016

By Rich Cook

Plenty of complexity in this stylized Paso Robles rendition of a Bordeaux blend.  Bright aromas of saddle and allspice complement mixed black fruit, and all translate nicely to palate flavors, with good acidic structure and weight.  I’d serve this alongside an herb encrusted prime rib.  A Platinum Award winner at the 2016 San Diego International Wine & Spirits Challenge.
