Winemaker Anthony Yount... succeeding in his aim to move the Denner wines toward greater detail and finesse 'without sacrificing the flavor intensity' for which Paso Robles has become known. Attention and care in farming is the biggest factor, he told me, 'because you can try all you want to make an elegant wine, but it doesn’t mean anything if you start off with fruit that is not in balance.'" The winery describes its history: "After traveling the state for years searching for the perfect piece of dirt to grow grapes that would produce highly-acclaimed wines, Ron Denner finally found exactly what he was looking for in the far western reaches of Paso Robles in 1997. He began planting the first few acres in 1999, which has now grown to a total of 130-acres, consisting of 20 different grape varieties and counting. — a day ago

Winemaker Anthony Yount produced a stellar set of wines in 2018, all of which exhibit the vibrant fruit character that marks the vintage. Once again, I was impressed by the all-Carignan Sacred Burro bottling, which shows the potential of this still-obscure variety in Paso Robles, both as a blending grape and for a stand-alone varietal bottling. While more and more wineries have begun to include it in their plantings and the resulting wines, nobody yet is doing it as consistently well as Denner. — 4 years ago

Them Denner peeps know their way around the grapes! Hadn’t had the zin in a while tbh but just delightful! Good spice, not baked as a lot of zins are but still with good fruit concentration. Vegetal finish. — 4 years ago

From Anthony Yount (also makes Kinero in addition to his main gig at Denner), this is a terrific, lighter style of clairette blanche. Has kind of a tight temperature window where it really signs - too warm and you lose the acidity, too cold and you lose the aromatics - but in its sweet spot just below 50 F it’s perfect. Will be interesting to see if it puts on a little weight with another year or two in bottle (which could be cool). — 5 years ago

I have never had Angelus so I don’t know if this is “the angelus of Paso Robles” but it is damn fine! The merlot and cab franc balance out each other nicely for a silky, structured wine that is easy just to sip or can be pontificated about! — 6 years ago

Nice wine from 2020 with herber Note from start, deep red color, some taste of chocolate and berry.
Sehr dunkles Rubinrot, die Nase noch etwas verhalten, Noten von Pfeffer, Erde, Cassis und Pflaume, am Gaumen wuchtig mit viel Konzentration, deutliche Holznoten, ein kraftvoller Wein.
Invites to drink.

The new vintage of Ryan Pease’s flagship white, this is off-scale good. Anthony Yount of Denner/Kinero/Royal Nonesuch told me he thinks Ryan’s ugni blanc is one of if not the best white in Paso…and I’m inclined to agree. Just fantastic! — 4 years ago

CdP blanc blend. Some weight on the palette, with a slightly sweet finish. Could have done with a bit more acidity — 3 years ago

This is actually Ryan’s “Been Away Too Long” bottling, a 100% mourvedre sourced from Denner. If you don’t know these wine, do yourself a favor and try a few bottles. In my opinion he makes the best pure mourvedre outside of France. Unlike most mourvedres, Ryan’s are elegant - more like a grenache - but with great depth of flavor. His wines are very approachable when young, but definitely put on some weight and depth with a few years in the bottle, so my rating will absolutely go up with time. Terrific wines from a small, excellent winery in Paso. Check it out! — 6 years ago
