Pessimist

Red Wine

Paso Robles, California

2016

Producer Notes

Intense red fruit aromas of cherry, raspberry and rhubarb are complemented by an undercurrent of blue and black fruits; blueberry,  blackberry  and  plum.  Accompanying  them  are  mushroom and allspice notes, accented with chocolate and hints of toffee and vanilla.  Bright and vibrant on the palate, flavors of cherry, cranberry and  pomegranate  dance  on  the  tongue.  A  silky  texture  coupled   with   a   lovely   cinnamon   spiciness   produces   a  memorable,   mouthwatering   sensorial   experience.   Multi-
layered and complex, with an extraordinary combination of harmonious flavors and aromas, this wine delivers in exquisite fashion, and the finish is long enough for one to ponder the depth and complexity of the sensations the wine offers.

WineChump Notes

Dark and rich, due mostly to the Petite Sirah, this wine is a blockbuster.  We were a bit pessimistic when we bought this wine.  We aren’t anymore.
