A very lush wine. Bordeaux/RhĂ´ne blend from Paso. Cherry liqueur, currants, violets, dark chocolate, coffee, star anise, nutmeg. Long and intense finish. Hedonistic!

If you follow me, you will have noticed a lot of wines coming out of Paso Robles. It’s currently my favorite region. The eclectic blends of new world macerated wines that are ready to drink. Herman Story is a top notch vineyard. Cab dominate blend but with 32%petit Verdot. Blue fruit with a hearty nose. Even keeled on the palate and longer finish make this beauty enticing.
