4/29/2017 - The Wine Write Likes this wine: 93 pointsPNP at restaurant. Good from the start. Plum and black cherry aromatics. Fine tannins. Luscious, soft texture. Nice fruit, but not a bomb. Finish is long and pleasant. Delicious, interesting wine.

I guess I shouldn't have expected more, as this restaurant has had a horrible wine program from Day 1.

2/24/2015 - jeagle wrote: 89 pointsDecanted through an aerator 10 hours prior to tasting. The muted fruit tasted mature through a heavy haze of tannin so I doubt this wine will ever come together. Personally, I think this style is a mistake and certainly eliminates all but the most optimistic of the senior crowd. So many Paso wines are beautifully accessible after several years. I truly wish this producer were one of them.

2/8/2015 - The Wine Write Likes this wine: 92 pointsSo much better than the last bottle. Black cherry fruit for days on the tongue. Rich, dark, savory fruit on the nose, with some smoked meat notes. A pleasurable drink.

11/28/2014 - ChinonRouge Does not like this wine: 72 pointsI don't like this wine at all. It tastes like cherry cola with alcohol in it. I would call it a wine "beverage product" before calling it a wine.

2009 Herman Story Grenache On The RoadCalifornia more |
8/29/2013 - Redguy Does not like this wine: NRHuge, fat, and sluggish...massive extract, lots of wood, and the warmer aspects of the vintage are taking over and pushing this into Willy Wonka land. This is a 10+ on the richness scale, and shows little poise or balance and even less freshness. At this point the profile is dominated by brown sugar, dark wood, basalmic, and earthy notes. Similarly port-like and portly as the '09 Larner Grenache I had a month ago. Loved these 2009 HS wines on release but I do not like they way ageing...at least the grenache based ones.
