Hope Family Wines (Paso Robles, CA)

• January 2013

  Being a cab lover I am hesitant to stray from what I like. On a recent occasion I had the opportunity to try a Zinfandel and to my amazement, it had some of the same attributes of the cabernets I love so well. I perused Snooth and stopped on a particular zin from Bogle vineyards. Gregory Dal Piaz gave it a nice rating and being a member of Snoot... Read More

  Treana Cabernet-Syrah Blend Paso Robles Red 2009

  Snoothrank:

  Rather intense and slightly hot on the nose with aromas of oak, roasted herbs, dried plum, dried cherry and coffee. Soft, slightly opaque, and low in the mouth, this creeps over the palate blanketing it with layers of spicy oak, roasted herbs, black cherries and something vaguely resembling dried apricots. The tannins build on the back end and ... Read More

  Hope Family Wines Candor Merlot Lot 3 NV

  Snoothrank:

  An attractive nose brings together some raw beefiness and plummy fruit with some carob and cocoa accents. This is soft and rich on entry, supple with layers of cola, chocolate and dried fruit flavors that turn a bit fresher on the mid-palate. Picks up some red plumminess before showing more oak-influenced flavors on the modest finish, which reve... Read More

  People are not going to like what I have to say here, but that is okay, this is not a popularity contest. I do not write about wine to gather as many friends or followers as possible. I write about wine because I love wine and while I know my palate sometimes strays outside of the mainstream, so be it. I know many other people share my tastes or... Read More

  Treana Cabernet-Syrah Blend Paso Robles Red 2008

  Snoothrank:

  Sandy soil tone with fine herbal elements. A bit of burnt rubber and some dried citrus peel notes. This does smell a bit alcoholic though it has a nice black cherry jam note on the nose. Lots of fruit up front with red cherry, red currant and dried strawberry fruit. Some nice mineral notes offer contrast and cut on the palate of this rather larg... Read More
