Tasting note
Powerful aromas of violets, blueberries, sarsaparilla, Kalamata olive and wild mint exude from the glass. The midpalate is dripping with blackberry, hoisin, white pepper, Spanish chorizo and dark chocolate notes that evolve into a rich mouthfeel and stunningly long finish.
Viticulture
2021 was an outstanding vintage in Paso Robles. A balanced and consistent vintage allowed for harvest later than normal. Ongoing drought conditions resulted in low yields with high concentration.
