Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
This gentle wine does what Paso so effortlessly accomplishes. It’s soft, juicy and filled with forward fruit flavor, but is by no means one-dimensional. Cherries, blackberries, mocha and peppery spices unfold in waves, and the finish is clean and dry.

Opolo Syrah - 2001

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Here’s a juicy, fruit-driven wine that frames blueberry, blackberry and plum jam flavors in considerable tannins. The wine is kind of mouth-numbing and needs time to soften up, but it should evolve to a richer softness in a few years. Would be great with roasted leg of lamb.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
The most concentrated and fruity of Opolo’s ’03 Zins features powerful blackcurrant and chocolate. Like the others, it’s soft in acids and lush in tannins. Finishes rather hot, but a terrific wine for a barbecue on a summer evening.

Typically Paso red wine, in the soft, easy tannins, low acids and powerful blackberry, cocoa and cherry flavors that are almost sweet in the finish.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Rather vegetal on the opening, and turns only modestly fruity in the mouth.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
A good wine. It’s a little tough and gritty in texture, but shows ripe flavors of black currants, mocha and spices. Finishes sweet and tannic, but not an ager.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
A Southern Rhône blend of Grenache, Mourvèdre, Syrah and Counoise, this red wine is soft, light-bodied and frankly sweet. It has Porty flavors of raisins, currants, chocolate and anise.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Ripe in blackberry and cocoa flavors, smooth in sweet tannins, this very nice Zin showcases Paso’s ability to produce soft, immediately drinkable red wines.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
You don’t have to peek at the label to know this is a high-alcohol wine. The 16.6% burns the palate. It’s also deficient in acidity, so while the cassis and chocolate flavors are fine, it’s unbalanced.
