2014 Awakening
66% Tannat / 34% Petite Sirah
Paso Robles
93 points / Editors Choice - Matt Kattmann - Wine Enthusiast.
Spawned by rebel passion, this tower of power will rock Rhone style lovers in a big Paso way with an irresistible and pure expression of aromatics, finesse and finish. "why are winemakers scared to do this blend? If you show some respect When you combine two of paso's most powerful grapes, something magical happens." An explosive rush of black fruit, spice and tannins just lets the bull out of the cage. A lush and concentrated profile carries an awesome purity with Wondering lively acidity.
Suggested Food Pairings:
Neapolitan wood fire pizzas, pulled pork sandwiches, sonoran grilled skirt steak, bacon wrapped meatloaf, spicy Peasant beans.
