PARIS VALLEY ROAD |
| Fairly deep red colour. Very spicy, cedary, sweet cherry nose. Off dry, medium bodied, very spicy, somewhat juicy, black cherry puree flavours with a lingering, gently cedary, slightly tropical finish. This “California” blend of Zinfandel, Syrah and Petite Sirah is a fairly reasonably-priced, commercial, entry-level red with 14.5% alcohol and 6 g/L residual sugar. |

| TASTING NOTE: Sourced from sites in Paso Robles and southern Monterey County, this is a well-crafted wine with exceptional broad appeal. Aromas and flavours of blueberry pie, strawberry, bumbleberry, cherry, raspberry, leather and a touch of licorice make for a wonderfully layered, complex wine. This is big, juicy and proud Zinfandel, but it remains soft, round and approachable. A real treat with fruit so ripe that the wine - though dry - has an almost off-dry taste profile. There is just so much to like here, including the price. (Vintages panel, May 2017) |
