Halter Ranch, Paso Robles (California) 2011

Sep 24, 2014

By Rich Cook

 I could sit and smell this wine all day and be satisfied. It’s a beautiful aromatic mix of blackberry, cherry, orange blossom, tar and baking spice.  Of course, pleasant aromas lead you to drink, and there’s no disappointment as bracing, mouthwatering acidity turns the aromas into flavors and carries them through a long finish that will keep you coming back. This will be even better as the oak integrates more fully.  A Platinum award-winner at the 2014 Sommelier Challenge.
