L'Aventure is a winery I've long been curious about—I was delighted to learn that it was one of our stops on a recent media trip to Paso Robles. And now, I understand all the fanfare. These wines all have a shimmering mineral thread running through them, like a silken cord, a trait that is discernible even in L'Aventure's heavier reds. The estate's deep calcareous soils have something to do with it, but the winemaker has deft hand, too. The 2016 Rosé is fresh and diaphanous with a length suspends itself over the tongue—red berries, melon, petrichor, sea foam. #pasowine — 9 years ago

The wine pours the dark purple. Flavors of boysenberry blackberries, strawberries and jam. Nice tannins and a moderate finish. The wine went well with the New York steaks. We paired it with. This was nine dollars at grocery outlet. Supposedly $20 MSRP. Looking to buy it again next time I go. #pasoroblescab #pasowine #cabernetsaugvinon #cabernets — 2 years ago
Bretty (which I love), cola, some effervescence, easy-drinking funk #sundaydinner #pasowine — 9 years ago
Throwback! Developing very nicely! Not for the meek. #jamesberry — 10 years ago


Predominantly #Syrah with some Petite Verdot, this is a dark, inky wine that is soft and full in the mouth. Expressive dark fruits, subtle spice, and silky mouth-feel. Delicious and supple with a lingering, spicy finish; you just have to have another sip. #PasoWine #Calcarious #Moose — 11 years ago

Ripe and juicy with a rich, lush finish. Definitely some toasty notes. Big red fruit notes. #cabernetsauvignon #daou #pasorobles #pasowine #california — 11 years ago
Inky purple, like squid ink, don't spill or you will stain the entire county inky! Explosive ripe fruit, dried flowers and smoke billow from the glass. Full bodied, masculine, and oozing with black and blue fruit, glycerin, licorice, pepper, sage and forest floor. The tannins are still soft and fine grained with a lingering mineral laden finish. #bigasswine #pasowine #inyourfacewine — 12 years ago

Just about the best Zinfandel I’ve had in quite a while. Excellent balance of fruit and floral flavors. A light, but refined texture. It was an outstanding accompaniment to Thanksgiving dinner at my daughter’s new home. Got his at the winery for $60. #zinfandel #pasorobleswine #pasowine #thanksgivingwine — 7 months ago
