Delicious Paso Robles, but with a different profile than we're used to in this wine. Ruby colored, higher acid, not as broad-shouldered as usual, but balanced and elegant -- like a highly extracted Pinot Noir or some Napa Zins. The flavors are more cherry, currant, and strawberry than the usual Paso Robles plum and earth. Graceful wine, drinkable now. - WB Team 2002-05-08
