Optimus Paso Robles Red Blend

Held up nicely.

Said goodbye to a few old wines recently. This was the last of a 12 bottle OWC purchased at auction about 6 years ago. Love Cab and love Syrah, but have not found many Cab-Syrah blends I have enjoyed. This is the exception. Very well integrated at the moment.

Another old friend that is hanging in well. Bottle #11 of 12 from OWC.

Plummy on the nose. Cranberry on the palate. Long finish with a hint of tannin. Cellar resale buy. I'm a little surprised it's still alive but it is!

Thank you Tuscan (Steve A.) a wonderful wine tonight. Enjoying with family and friends finishing up a great Xmas holiday weekend.
Really excellent flavors of dark berry, cranberry's and a subtle menthol graphite compote. I can't imagine it needing any more time to develop. Delicious thanks Steve.

Auction bargain. Still going strong and showing its Paso roots.

Throwing a lot of sediment, but always a steady performer over the years.

Really drinking well these days.

Love Cab, love Syrah, but generally don't enjoy Cab/Syrah blends. This one was nice. Maybe it was the 5% Zin!

Picked up at auction. Fantastic right now. #dope
