The warm dry vintage is\u003cbr\u003eexpressed by ripe aromas of figs, plums, and heavy florals filling the\u003cbr\u003enose. Bright acids and fall spice from Cab Franc and Merlot combine\u003cbr\u003ewith dark fruits from fully ripe Petit Verdot to build a simply colossal wine. Huge tannins from extended maceration fill the mid- palate before the wine turns more savory and elegant. Perfectly integrated French Oak accentuates the signature chalky mineral finishing notes, marking this wine as \u003cstrong\u003eone of the truest expressions of West side Paso terroir.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVarietal Blend: 31% Merlot, 21% Cab Franc , 23% Cab Sauvignon 9% Malbec, 16% Petit Verdot\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Winery\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFather and daughter Lloyd Messer and Dana Brown realized their dream of finding a place to express their passion for wine in 2000, when they established Calcareous Vineyards on one of the highest limestone plateaus on Paso Robles’ westside. Both Lloyd and Dana, experienced wine distributors in their native Iowa, recognized the westside of Paso Robles had potential to produce world class wines. Their acquisition of 442 acres atop solid calcareous rock reaching 1,800 feet above sea level confirmed their dedication to producing the highest quality, terroir driven wines possible. It is a labor of love to cultivate fruit on this challenging land, but the reward is immediately apparent when tasting the wines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReviews\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBlackberry juice, licorice, grape seed and dried ginger show on the nose of this jammy, spicy blend of 31% Merlot, 23% Cabernet Sauvignon, 21% Cabernet Franc, 16% Petit Verdot and 9% Malbec. \u003cstrong\u003eIt's rich in dark fruits\u003c\/strong\u003e at first, then tightens on clean and wound-up tannins, with intense pepper and \u003cstrong\u003erounded caramel toward the finish\u003c\/strong\u003e. ~91pts, WE\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA big, strapping red, with a ripe, roasted aroma and flavors to match, including plenty of inky notes to the plum tart and\u003cstrong\u003e dried blackberry fruit\u003c\/strong\u003e.
