Linne Calodo Rising Tides Paso Robles Syrah Blend 2015

$78

Rare new release                                                    Rare new release from Paso Robles cult winery Linne Calodo.  Limited. 94 Points Robert Parker: "A blend of 47% Syrah, 38% Grenache and 15% Mourvedre, the LC Red Rising Tides Proprietary Red is another impeccably balanced, charming and sweetly fruited effort from winemaker Matt Trevisan. It gives up lots of black raspberries, caramelized cherries, scorched earth and toasted spice. About as seamless as they come, with ultra-fine tannin and a great mid-palate, it's a killer GSM blend from Paso Robles to enjoy anytime over the coming decade.... ...A genius when it comes to fashioning incredible blends from Syrah, Mourvedre, Grenache and Zinfandel (as well as a few others), Linne Calodo's Matt Trevisan eschews single varieties and makes seamless, elegant and character-filled wines that are always an utter joy to drink."

From Matt at Linne Calodo - who makes some of the most interesting and unusual blends coming out of Paso - the 2015 version of one of his earliest cuvees is 54% grenache, 30% mourvedre, 14% syrah, and 2% tannat. Terrific wine with loads of fruit, great aromatics on the nose, and super soft, well-integrated tannins. This is another one that performs better at temps as close to cellar as possible, as it gets a bit flabby if it warms up too much. Really enjoyable wine.
