Adelaida Cellars
Adelaida's wines begin at the roots, pushing through the rocky limestone soils on the west side of Paso Robles on California's Central Coast. The winery, which originated in 1981, is located 14 miles east of the Pacific Ocean at an elevation of 1,800 feet in the Santa Lucia mountain chain.
The winery is a vineyard driven operation that considers itself a foremost proponent of the potential of west side Paso Robles. Adelaida's wild and rugged mountainside vineyards are loaded with limestone and calcareous shale. According to winemaker Terry Culton, "these characteristics cause the vines to strengthen. This results in added stress on the vines, which lowers the yields but produces more intensely flavored fruit". In keeping with the winery's sustainable philosophy, the vineyards are not tilled, encouraging native grasses, wild sage and rosemary to flourish between the rows.
Adelaida produces from its own Estate vineyards and a select group of contracted vineyards on the west side of Paso Robles. Amongst Read more »
Great cab from Paso Robles. Very well balanced with plenty of dark fruit, dried plums, black raspberries, nice oak and fine tannins. Would put this up against many a Napa cab.

Adelaida Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 1990
Snoothrank:
Attractive deep purple in the glass. Quite a big nose--some slight berry fruit, some herbal/vegetative things (grass, bell pepper), some woody things. Very pleasant on the palate. A little fruitier--blackberry--than I would like for a cab, but easy to drink. Fairly sharp acids beg for food accompaniment (good news, we're having rack of lamb,... Read More

Well balanced syrah from Paso Robles. Not overly jammy or extracted but well rounded with loads of dark cherry and plum. Fairly smooth tannins, fresh, inky purple and a nice medium finish. Read More

Very nice red blend from Paso Robles. Dark red cherry, plum and a bit of spice. Not much acidity, a little flabby but a fairly long finish. Had this 2009 along side the 2010 and 2008 and this was the least favorite but on its own still an excellent wine. Read More
