Ripe fruit w/smooth finish - very nice. — 3 years ago
Thanksgiving Paso Robles trip second day first stop. Tiny production of 100% Pinot Noir grown at Robert Haas’s home in the Templeton Gap. Quite precise. Purity of fruit. Fresh red fruited - cranberry juice, sea weed, bright pale ruby, medium acidity and medium minus tannins. — 3 years ago

This is the Solar Fel, the first vintage of this CS/PV/CF blend, all estate grown, and it’s a great start.
The nose has a purple floral component that I seldom associate with Paso, in addition to ripe plum, bing cherry, black steeped tea, dried herbs, and dark chocolate. Rich and supple palate. Enticing acidity. Candied mellow tannins. Deliciousness all around. — 4 years ago
Have not had a Paso cab for a while. This one is quite satisfying.
Signature Paso lush candied fruits. There is cool vibe on the rich palate with licorice and hint of menthol. Good acidic and tannin structure that suggests long drinking window ahead.
I think this ‘19 bottling is better than the ‘17 and ‘18.

Ripe blackberry and plum lead, with brambly raspberry, black pepper, and warm baking spice. A touch of dark chocolate frames a generous, almost jammy fruit core. The palate is lush yet lively, with enough acidity lifting the richness and keeping it focused. Supple tannins and a hint of dried herbs carry through a smooth fruity finish. This has aged well and I think it will continue to improve in the bottle for the next 3-4 years.
The winery was sold in 2022. The new owner seems to focus producing Cab - a pity. — 15 days ago
