L’Aventure 2020 Estate Cuvee Proprietary Red, Paso Robles 99 Points

Robert Parker 99 Points: A blend of 45% Syrah, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon and 15% Petit Verdot, the 2020 Estate Cuvée is another outstanding wine from L’Aventure in the challenging 2020 vintage, offering singular concentration and elegance. Deep ruby-purple, it has a pure core of cassis and slowly unfolding accents of licorice, cured meats, tobacco leaves, cedar, and truffle. Full-bodied, juicy, and alluring, it floods the mouth with layers of blue fruit, floral perfume, and spice. It is supported by powdery tannins and boasts a tremendously long, detailed finish.”

Winemaker Notes: “Aromatically the wine is sultry with jammy dark fruits, pencil lead, and violets. On the palate, the wine is smooth, with well-integrated tannins, bright fruit flavors and a balancing kick of minerality.  A Blend: 45% Syrah, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Petit Verdot.”
