Cotes de Paso Estate Bottled Paso Robles Red Rhone Blend

Lovely balanced blend that has the best characteristics of all four varieties. Go get yourself some.

Great expression of west side paso Grenache. Lean with muscle, a pop of freshness and finesse. I really like the wines coming out of #halterranch

Dark ruby in color with a purplish rim.

Nice nose, reminded me of Côtes du Rhône. Fruity with blueberries, currants, plums, cooked cherries, oak, vanilla, licorice, earth, spices, peppercorn, leather, chocolates and smoke.

Medium plus in body and soft, with medium acidity and long legs.

Fruity on the palate with plums, cherries, licorice, oak, vanilla, earth, spices, herbs, cola and black pepper.

Long finish with soft, smooth tannins.

A very enjoyable GSM from Paso Robles, California. Balanced with a soft mouthfeel. Not very complex, but not simple either. A good sipping wine, and also works well with food.
I paired it with fried chicken hearts and a charcuterie board.

A blend of 43% Grenache, 23% Syrah, 23% Mourvedre and 11% Tannat. A small production of only 2300 cases.

14.8% alcohol by volume.

black pepper, black fruits with an astringent finish. vanilla, coconut and caramel in the nose in the finish.

Tasted this local gem and the 2014 Wine Toursim Conference.

Lovely red blend.

Christmas present

Delicious GSM with bkackberries and vanilla.
Pairs very well with Filet Mignon.
Mes compliments!!

Well made. Paso fruit forward. Ripe. Smooth. Pretty, if a bit too much oak for my preference. Best served on the cool side. Highly drinkable (aka I drank the whole bottle in an hour. By myself. Oops.)

I had this wine again last night in Morro Bay. Everyone at the table liked it! We even ordered a second bottle.
