This is the Artazu Pasos de San Martin Navarra, a varietal Garnacha. A bit sleepy before it gets air, it gradually Benjamin Buttons and develops a terrifically pure nose of kirsch and raspberry ooze, along with crushed rock dust and sandalwood. In the mouth it’s got intense fruit, but is laser-focused and has excellent acids. Zero flab.
Just enough tannin to package it all. Really nice rendition of Grenache. — 2 years ago
Berries, soft, well-balanced. The remarkable sweetness in the beginning rapidly gives way to a wonderful balance. Pairs well with pork, probably also good with chicken. — 8 years ago

@Delectable This is the Pasos de San Martin garnacha. Semi-serious. — a year ago
Rojo intenso. Fuertes tonos frutados en nariz con acentos dulces apasados y de guindones. Buen balance de ácidos, notable sequedad y astringencia, con largos dulces y cierto picor en paladar. — 3 years ago
Glad I've been buying from this Pasos Robles winery for about 10 years now. A Big Boy at 15.6 ABV, decanted 2 hours ahead. Pleasantly not an alcohol bomb. Fantastic nose. Dark dried cherry, dirt, licorice, iron. Very chewy.
80% Paderewski vineyard.
58% Syrah, 18% Mourvedre, 14% Grenache, 10% Petite Sirah. Imaginative blend!
Not my favorite of theirs, but never disappointed. 9.2 — 7 years ago
