Vina Robles, Paso Robles (California) 2008

Jul 8, 2010

By Robert Whitley

They’re calling this a GSM-P, short for Grenache, Syrah, Mourvedre and Petite Sirah. Whatever you call it, call it tasty. Vina Robles ‘Red’ is a supple, juicy red wine that offers luscious red and black fruit aromas, sweet tannins and a long, lip-smacking finish. There is a slightly dominant note of oak on the nose, but that should dissipate over time. Mark it down as an outstanding summer barbecue red at a reasonable price!
