Tasting Panel
With 36% Petite Sirah added to 62% Cabernet Sauvignon (plus some Malbec and Saint-Macaire), this wine over-delivers in mouthfeel, aromas, flavors, and structure for the price. In this expressive vintage, it shows determination, grip, and finesse. The sense of concentration—dried violets, caramel, plum skin tannins, cherry ganache, and minerality—exhibits complexity and stamina.

Vinous
The 2023 Proprietary Red Wine Pure Paso opens with a minty herbal freshness as notes of dried black cherry mix with cedar shavings and cloves. It’s silken and supple with cooling acidity to balance. Ripe red and black fruits slowly saturate toward the close. A coating of fine, polished tannins frames the finish.

James Suckling
Ripe, bold aromas of plums, blackberry compote, blackcurrants, mocha and spices. The palate is full-bodied with a creamy texture and firmly framed tannins. This blend of cabernet sauvignon and petite sirah is not for the faint-hearted. Drink or hold.

Wine Enthusiast
This bold, attention-grabbing blend of Cab and Petite Sirah begins with rich aromas of stewed black cherry and caramelized oak. The palate’s coffee and toffee flavors decorate the core of black cherry compote.
