This time, it’s a 37% Grenache, 32% Syrah, and 31% Mourvèdre, which puts thousands of GSMs from every corner of the globe to shame. This is a stunning, polished, super-complex red wine with invisible welds between the three varieties and a sense of extraordinary confidence on the palate.

Love the garrigue herbs on the nose, this captures the exuberance of Paso in its seductive vibrancy and easy pleasure, balancing it with freshly cut herbs, fennel and white pepper, liquorice, bilberry and raspberry fruits. Sculptured and textured, long ageing ahead. Fermented and aged in amphora, cement vats and 33% new French oak. There was no release last year, ensuring a little more time in bottle before release. A dry season, similar to 2019 and 2020, few extremes of heat except for two or three days during harvest, producing a lovely wine from the Asseo family.

(Paso Robles; 37% Grenache; 32% Syrah; 31% Mourvedre; 30% new oak; 18% in concrete; 16% in amphora 14.9% alcohol; tasted with Swann Dufeu from L’Aventure at CVBG; aged in amphora, concrete, new and one-year old French old barrels). Fascinating. Distinctive. Indeed, a little Cote Rôtie-esque (written, I should note, before I was told that the name itself is an homage to the Northern Rhone) but also describing the location of the key parcels here. Rose petals. Peony. This is more floral than the Estate bottling. An open fire and the warm cinders afterwards. Meaty too. Open-textured, layered, with tannins that build in presence and granularity towards the finish. Limpid, glossy and impressively luminous. Inky, deep, dark and concentrated. Dense and intense, the attack not too ample and that reinforces the sense of concentration. Nice freshness. Juicy. Lovely grippy, crumbly limestone tannins bring great tension, chiselled structure and a very lifted fantail finish to this.

The flagship GSM blend from quality producer L’Aventure. This is the more 'delicate' offering in the producer's portfolio – a word not often used in Paso. Red and black fruits interplay on the nose. The palate is chewy and textured with flavours of red fruits, baking spices and faint floral notes. A lengthy finish rounds out this beauty.

Cool-toned and classic, the 2021 Côte a Côte opens with a lovely blend of crushed blackberries, dusty sage and a lifting hint of split pine. It's elegant and silky in feel, yet powerful all the same, with depths of ripe red and black fruits that wash across the palate with ease, all guided by brisk acidity. Gently tannic and more savory than anticipated, this leaves the mouth watering for more despite its youthful state and tension. Fantastic.

The 2021 Côte a Côte is a blend of 37% Grenache, 32% Syrah and 31% Mourvèdre that combines power and elegance, concentration and weightlessness. The glass reveals a deep well of aromas—maraschino cherry, blueberry, licorice, rooibos tea and autumn leaves emerge from the glass and are made even more complex by undertones of earth and spice. The full-bodied palate is plush, supple and generous, though its chocolaty, floral fruit is perfectly ripe. It has a foil of mouthwatering acidity, flinty accents and a long, very latent finish. It will take several years in bottle to fully unfurl.

Refined nose with cherries, cassis, ripe plums, herbs and sweet spices. It's full-bodied with creamy tannins. An elegant development on the palate with a velvety texture. The fruit is obvious at the center with a discreet touch of spices and grilled herbs on the mid-palate. Slightly chewy with a focused, flavorful developing finish. 37% grenache, 32% syrah and 31% mourvedre. Drink or hold.

The 2021 Cote a Cote checks in as nearly equal thirds of Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre. It's a killer bottle of wine revealing full-bodied richness, an expansive, layered mouthfeel, ripe tannins, and a complex bouquet of blackberries, savory herbs, peppered meats, and hints of violets. This concentrated, powerful wine stays just about weightless, has ultra-fine tannins, and a great finish. The élevage here was 14 months in 30% new French oak, with 16% in amphora and 18% in concrete, and the balance in once-used barrels.
