California wine has a long and continuing history, and in the late twentieth century became recognized as producing some of the world’s finest wine. While wine is made in all fifty U.S. states, up to 90% (by some estimates) of American wine is produced in the state. California would be the fourth largest producer of wine in the world if it were an independent nation.

Winemaker’s Tasting Notes
Rich aromas of ripe black cherry, Mission fig and dark chocolate
mingle with a spice box of clove and nutmeg. The palate is filled with
flavors of juicy blackberry and boysenberry that are enveloped in
silky tannins, showing complexity beyond its years. Enticing flavors of
fresh vanilla bean and hazelnut carry through a velvety richness that
lingers on the finish. Enjoy now after decanting for 45 minutes or cellar
through 2038.

The wines show exceptional flavor intensity and conditions were perfect for producing a wine with beautiful fruit as well as tremendous concentration of flavors, highly saturated color, and layers of complexity.
A nose of licorice and crushed rock, blackberry, soy, and sweet tobacco. On the palate, black raspberry and mineral flavors with a Syrah-driven pancetta-like meaty note. The finish is deep and long, with bright acids, chalky tannins, and a chaparral-like wild herb note that reverts finally back to the licorice note the wine started with. Complex and lingering. Drink now and over the next decade.
Black cherry and cinnamon on the nose with images of sugar plum fairies dancing through your head. Some hints of black tea and plum skin as you take your first sip, leaving you grateful for Paso’s precious Zin.
