This bottle was a gift--a very nice presentation and bottling of Paso Robles wine. Interestingly enough, the bottle didn't designate a year or the types of grape that went into this blend. However, I sniffed out Cab Franc and after a bit of internet research, found that the three principal grapes in this blend of Cab Franc, Petit Sirah, and Zinfandel. Three great grapes. The complexity was very nice and I felt that the wine kept opening to different flavors, especially as it came up to room temperature. Not too peppery, but with plenty of mineral and earthen flavors--it reminded me of some of the Tempranillo I've been enjoying lately.
