Fulldraw Vineyard

Hard Point Paso Robles Grenache

Interesting comparison between the Fulldraw and Tynan wine. Both were opened about 2hrs. The flavor profile is somewhat similar between the two, showing chocolate and dark blue fruit for the Tynan and red fruit for the Fulldraw. Great spice and pepper with each. The main difference is with the tannins and finish. The tannins on the Tynan are fairly noticeable (in addition to some heat) while the Hard Point’s are already integrated. The finish on the Hard Point is incredibly long and luxurious. @Connor McMahon exceptional wine — 8 years ago

WNH event number 7...virtual tasting with @Connor McMahon from Fulldraw Vineyards.

Loved the story behind this new Paso producer. If you’re looking for Paso Rhône wines, check out Fulldraw. Pedigree, quality, story...all there. Many thanks to Connor for joining us tonight!

46% syrah, 28% Grenache and 26% Mourvèdre. After I opened, I put it straight in the decanter. Shortly after, I gave it a try and it was very aromatic...crunchy, sweet, dark fruits. Mourvèdre shows beautifully. More depth than being totally floral, but more elegant than being totally fruit driven. Blue and black candied fruits accompanied by dark chocolate, bacon fat and charcoal. I followed it over 4+hrs and it had a bit of a rollercoaster evolution...very energetic at pop and pour, slightly closed down in between, and hit apex around hour 3. The tannins softened substantially with notes of licorice, dried blackberries, chargrilled blueberries and a finish highlighted by peppered strip. For me, this wine epitomizes Paso GSM blends. Inaugural vintage. Nicely done!

@Shay A : how many years to be its best?

@Bryan Kesting : I’d say maybe 2-3yrs for a good bit of fruit, or 3-5 if you want a better balance of primary and secondary type notes. It sure was good with a 3-4hr decant though.

Paso Robles Rosé Blend 2017

While I’m a sucker for rose’ I rarely rate them this high. This is a different animal. I’d say it’s more of a “with food” rose’ than a “lounging by the pool” rose’. Ample weight and a full mouthfeel, strawberry/rhubarb pie filling, bold and savory with a dollop of all-spice. I enjoyed this immensely and it made great strides as it warmed up. I’d serve at 65+ degrees. Shout out to @Connor McMahon and @Rebecca McMahon for loving what they do and making it show in our glass. Cheers. — 7 years ago

@Bill Bender oh my favorite rosés are not usually the light summer supper types—I’m a Tavel and Cerasuolo style girl—which is likely why I was extra critical. This is definitely my style rosé but like your suggestion to have something to chomp on with it. That can never hurt😊

Linne Calodo

Outsider Zinfandel Blend 2014

A welcoming home to California. The outsider holding up to the smoke country back ribs and blaring country in the Bose, a rowdy night with Doug — @Connor McMahon and @BRIAN BELL know what I mean. But for the wine... a bit of alcohol on the nose but drinks smooth with hits of warm dark fruits. Just exceptionably drinkable. Well done — 8 years ago
