Solid choice all around - easy to drink and yet still captivating and complex. Long shelf life - can be enjoyed for at least 10 years. WINEMAKER: Scotty Saunders - 5th generation Paso Roblan WHAT WE TASTED:  On the nose, it presents a bouquet of ripe red fruits, such as cherries and raspberries, intermingled with hints of black pepper and warm spices. A smooth and medium-bodied wine with finely integrated and balanced tannins. PERSONALITY:  The unique climate with warm days and cool nights in Paso Robles, combined with the rich, loamy soil, creates the perfect conditions for growing grapes that lead to complex and distinctive wines. In Arbuckle Ridge's GSM, Grenache makes up the majority of the blend and provides the wine’s robust body and rich, red fruit flavors. Syrah adds depth with its dark fruit notes and hints of spice. The remaining Mourvèdre brings a touch of earthiness and complexity to the blend.
