Paso Robles - Willow Creek District
92 Points (Matt Kettmann) WIne Enthusiast.
Inky, deep, dark Mahogany in color, this wine is a “glass stainer.” The nose is wildly complex beginning with gorgeous ripe fruits of stewed cherries, black currants, and blackberries followed by delicious smoky notes, with hints of pepper and vanilla bean. Full bodied on the palate with ripe black fruit notes, sweet baking spices, a savory mid-palate and an extremely long and sexy finish with lingering soft tannins. Simply beautiful! Aged 17 months in 60% new French Oak.
Vineyard Notes: Pipestone Vineyard is located in the heart of the Willow Creek District of Paso Robles. The vineyard is tucked back in the hills with the grapes planted all across the gently rolling hillsides.
Suggested Food Pairings: This wine is amazing on its own, but it does make a great partner with a wide variety of foods. It is a wonderful match with grilled pepper steak and blue cheese, perfection when drank alongside a hearty pasta dish, and is to die for when paired with a decadent piece of BBQ lamb. Decant for 2 hours!
