Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
A blend of all five Bordeaux varieties, this is an enormously ripe wine, bursting with plum, coffee and cherry-berry flavors that taste well-oaked. It has a rough, sandpapery feeling in the mouth, with a dry, peppery finish.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
No fancy name for this two-grape blend, and it’s not a fancy wine, either. Direct in berry, earthy coffee, dark bitter chocolate and peppery spice flavors, it’s bone dry and tannic. The alcohol is kind of high, and makes for a hot finish, but a good steak will help.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
A Bordeaux blend, this wine shows the softness and ripeness that Paso succeeds at so well with Cabernet and Merlot. It’s classic eastside, and in this warm vintage the flavors run toward blackberry marmalade, red cherry jam, milk chocolate, gingerbread and spiced rum. Just delicious.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
A Syrah-based blend of the two Cabs with Zinfandel, this is a fairly rough-edged, very ripe wine. It’s upfront in cherry-berry, cola, leather, chocolate and spice flavors, and finishes dry and tannic.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Exceptionally appealing. Feels smooth, dry and polished, with supple flavors of blackberries, black currants, violets, herbs and smoky cedar. Really elegant and classy, and improves in the glass. Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
An offbeat blend of Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon and Zinfandel. Drinks dense and full-bodied, with a gamy, leathery edge to the blackberries, mocha and cedar. Flamboyant now, and could develop bottle complexity in a few years.
