Country: US / Party of Four Estate Grown
Variety: Bordeaux-style Red Blend California
Winery: HammerSky / Paso Robles
This Bordeaux blend, based on equal parts Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, is softly opulent and ripe, in the way of many Paso Robles red wines. It floods the mouth with blackberries and currants, with spicy complexities from oak, and is fairly tannic, although not so much that a good steak won’t cut through it. Best Now–2012.
