Smashberry, Paso Robles (Central Coast, California) 2018

Aug 17, 2021

By Rich Cook

 Sometimes wine is just supposed to be fun.  This label lets you know right up front that fun is the order of the day, and it delivers with bright fruit, supple structure and drink me now liveliness.  A firm grip in the finish dulls the fruit just a bit, but it also makes the wine more food friendly.  It’s a natural for Sunday afternoon burgers.  Contains 42% Cabernet Sauvignon, 26% Syrah, 16% Merlot, 8% Grenache and 8% Lagrein.
