2022 Finn's Zinfandel

Tasting Notes:

Winemakers have flocked to Paso Robles to benefit from optional growing conditions for producing premium red wines. Ideal day-to-night temperature changes, diverse soils, and a long growing season consistently result in exceptional wine. This Zinfandel is without exception! It is full-bodied and boasts fruity aromas of wild berries, plums, and red pepper. With distinct black fruit and spices on the palate, the finish lingers with moderate tannins.

Appellation Notes: Paso Robles AVA

If any “wine professional” from Paso Robles tells you, “It’s actually quite cool in Paso Robles,” ask to see their air conditioning bill—from December. Yeah, so, nestled in the heart of San Luis Obispo County, Paso Robles enjoys a warm, Mediterranean climate (read: insanely hot) with cool nights (if you think 90 degrees is cool), making it ideal for a diverse range of grape varieties (to suffer). But here’s the thing: the truth is, there are pockets of cool Pacific breezes, which funnel in from gaps in the coastal mountain ranges, and that creates a host of microclimates where grapes can thrive. While Paso Robles, established as an AVA in 1983, makes the boldest California reds we know—Zinfandel, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Syrah—it’s also a pretty cool place to visit. Cool, as in, how Snoop Dogg thinks Martha Stewart is pretty cool. The Paso Market? The cookies from Just Baked? OMG.
