"The 2023 Proprietary Red Wine Pure Paso opens with a minty herbal freshness as notes of dried black cherry mix with cedar shavings and cloves. It’s silken and supple with cooling acidity to balance. Ripe red and black fruits slowly saturate toward the close. A coating of fine, polished tannins frames the finish." —Vinous

"Ripe, bold aromas of plums, blackberry compote, blackcurrants, mocha and spices. The palate is full-bodied with a creamy texture and firmly framed tannins. This blend of cabernet sauvignon and petite sirah is not for the faint-hearted. Drink or hold." —James Suckling

"This bold, attention-grabbing blend of Cab and Petite Sirah begins with rich aromas of stewed black cherry and caramelized oak. The palate's coffee and toffee flavors decorate the core of black cherry compote." —Wine Enthusiast
