Opaque ruby. Expansive smoke- and spice-accented aromas of ripe black and blue fruits, vanilla and incense are complemented by hints of licorice and potpourri. Bright and energetic on the palate, offering penetrating blackberry, bitter cherry, blueberry and violet pastille flavors that become sweeter and deeper with air. Polished, harmonious tannins give shape and grip to an extremely long finish driven by sexy floral and spice notes. (Josh Raynolds, Vinous, February 2020)

Awesome Paso Robles blend: Syrah, Cab, Petit Verdot. I had it 6 months ago and it was tight, incredible what a little time does!
highly recommended!

Well dang. Very good. Very good thank you @Paul Treadway Huntington Beacher for sending my way. I figured a night of staging as a somm at a top dtla restaurant deserved this at the end. It was Riesling all night there so I figured I would go Paso Robles at home to go to sleep. This is luscious. Yet dry. Still keep checking the label to see if Merlot factors in as the smell of plums jumps out at me but no...it is Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah and Petit Verdot. As luscious as a wine can get and still be dry and still a smidgen (+) tannic. I could have held this another several years and I think it would have grown. Very good. Pleasant. Not complicated which is either good or bad pending your mood. I want to taste more L'Aventure. This was the first of their offerings I had.
