Snooth Talk: Paso Robles Cabernets

Wine Talk

: Paso Robles Cabernets; Posted by wlstiles3, Oct 15.; I am discovering Paso Robles and find the Cabs to be of very good quality. So far, I've tried Liberty School and J Lohr Estates. Both were well structured smooth and had some complexity. Recommendations anyone?

14 73: Reply by kylewolf, Oct 15.; doing a quick search, and trimming it down to wineries I personally enjoy,

Justin Vineyard Obtuse
Edna Valley Cabernet
Clayhouse
Firestone Vineyard

Those are just wineries I can vouch for

Wistiles, here're some recent threads on the subject:

http://www.snooth.com/talk/topic/paso-robles-trip-and-tips/
http://www.snooth.com/talk/topic/advice-on-paso-robles-wineries/

A lot of the posts in those threads are about travel there, but you'll also be able to pick up the names of several wineries while wading through the travelogue...

10 1136: Reply by dmcker, Oct 16.; You might also try other varietals besides cabs. To get to know Paso Robles 'terroir' you'll definitely need to taste Four Vines and Turley bottles just to touch the bases.

Here're a couple more even older threads:

And another one from Santa Barbara that mentions a good Paso Robles zin:

Are you interested in any other varietals like zinfandel, pinot noir, syrah, petite syrah, southern Rhone-type blends, etc.? Whites?

14 73: Reply by kylewolf, Oct 16.; dmcker, they are just bottlings from Paso Robles, I searched Snooth to make sure they did indeed have Paso Robles wines.

I'm mostly into reds, would be interested in syrah and petite syrah. I'll be on the lookout for your suggestions. Thanks.

Martin & Weyrich
Justin
Vina Robles

I'm sure there are more but those are the one's that quickly spring to mind as quality producers in Paso.

8 70: Reply by chadrich, Oct 16.; I'd add votes for:

Adelaida (cab, syrah, zin)
Edward Sellers (mostly Rhone belnds)

10 1136: Reply by dmcker, Oct 16.; So how many wineries in Paso Robles provide food, inn service, whatever, as well? Almost no place else does that in California, due to licensing intricacies and lack of prioritization. I've always thought it nice in France and other places in Europe to have food from a wine house with their wine. Only Ferrari-Carano and the former Souverain (now Coppola) in Sonoma do it up north, as far as I know. Civilized, cultured, call it what you may, it gives a more pleasant impression to me than the seemingly sole-focus-on-commerce nuances that often waft from California winery tasting rooms.

If anyone responds to this I'll start a separate thread to limit the thread drift here...
