Paso Robles, Central Coast, California, USA
This is a very nice Grenache blend from Paso Robles, California.
Showing black and red fruits with chocolates, oak, light vanilla, spices, peppercorn, leather, tobacco, earth and green herbs.
Medium bodied with medium acidity.
Dry and fruity on the palate, nice and engaging.
High alcohol, but not noticeable. Easy to drink and enjoyable with food or by itself. Not too much "in your face" kind of wine. Spicy and gentle.
14.9% alcohol by volume.
90 points.

Loved this wine from the first sip. Got even better as time went on. We paired it with Indian food and it held up wonderfully. Definitely going to be buying more!!

Calcareous Trés Violet - 48% Syrah, 27% Mourvèdre, 25% Grenache - delicious red blend from Paso Robles. Soft and velvety in the mouth, well balanced with dark fruit flavors. Goes great with my lamb. #paso #pasowine

Just enough age to soften the tannins. And yes, it is rather violety. If that's a word...

Not our favorite vintage. Lacks the complexity of a typical Tres Violet. Almost like an average bottle of Calcareous Syrah.
