All 5 BDX Varietals led by CS and Merlot in a typical bombastic Paso style. The fruit is amped up, acid is fairly low and tannins are medium. I do appreciate that in a hot weather wine they kept the alcohol fairly in check at 14.4%

2010 vintage. Bought at Pear Valley Vineyards in Paso Robles. I liked this wind when I bought it in 2015. But flavor has diminished. Average.

Pleasant, not great, but good. Pairs nicely with pasta and meat sauce.
