PASO ROBLES | CALIFORNIA | $75
Forward, glossy blackberry and cherry fruit with cedar, camphor bay and hints of thyme. The mouth feel is silky with a substantial weight. A robust wine with a firm finish. You get action from the start, and like the final “Sopranos” episode: it’s a thrilling drama, then the screen goes black. 70% Syrah, 15% Grenache, 15% Mourvedre. A good wine. (Reviewed 3/3/12)
