Riise Wine
Peace Paso Robles Syrah Blend
Paso Robles, Central Coast, California, USA
Riise — Peace 2021. Paso Robles AVA, California, USA 🇺🇸
Overview
A character-driven Paso Robles red blend built on 87% Syrah supported by 8% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Petite Sirah, delivering structure, savory depth, and layered tension while maintaining surprising balance and approachability. This is a small-production, terroir-forward expression that leans more into texture and composure than raw power.
Aromas & Flavors
Dark cherry, black plum, savory herbs, graphite, and subtle pepper lift from the glass, followed by layers of cocoa, dried violets, and gentle earthy undertones. The palate shows ripe dark fruit framed by savory spice, mineral grip, and controlled warmth rather than overt sweetness.
Mouthfeel
Medium-plus bodied with firm but polished tannins and well-integrated acidity. The wine carries structure and tension through the mid-palate, finishing clean, dry, and composed with lingering savory persistence.
Food Pairings
Grilled lamb chops, rosemary chicken, braised short ribs, mushroom risotto, aged Gouda, or herb-driven Mediterranean dishes.
Verdict
A thoughtfully built, micro-production Paso Robles blend that balances strength with finesse. It delivers depth, savory complexity, and structural clarity without drifting into heaviness or excess.
Did You Know?
Fewer than 600 cases were produced, making this a true small-lot bottling that highlights Riise’s hands-on, artisanal approach to blending and site expression in Paso Robles.
🍷 Personal Pick
I appreciate how this wine leans into savory structure and layered tension rather than sheer power, a quietly confident bottle that rewards slow, thoughtful drinking.
