L'Aventure
Optimus 20th Anniversary Willow Creek District Red Blend
Paso Robles, Central Coast, California, USA
Great nose. Rich and lovely. With air this one is really nice. Long finish. The blend here is interesting compared to the others he makes. I’ve kinda betting it’s a higher Syrah mix but need to check.

Great burger 🍔 wine on a Thursday night.
I prefer this over several of their high end double the price bottles.

A normal blend of 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Petite Sirah, and 10% Syrah, the 2018 Optimus reveals a deep purple color as well as beautiful notes of crème de cassis, black licorice, tobacco, chocolate, and a rocky, earthy minerality. It's rich and medium to full-bodied, with beautiful purity and silky tannins. This is a terrific introduction into the wines of l'Aventure and will drink well for over a decade.

I need to buy this every year, the Cabernet in the blend makes the bottle stand out
