The 2022 Unorthodox opens with an aromatic bouquet of ripe blackberries, plums, and a hint of black pepper. On the palate, the Syrah contributes flavors of dark fruit and subtle floral notes, while the Grenache adds a touch of red fruit brightness and spice. The Cabernet Sauvignon brings depth with its structured tannins and notes of blackcurrant, while the Petite Sirah adds richness with its velvety texture and hints of chocolate and licorice. The wine is full-bodied with firm tannins and a long, satisfying finish, making it an excellent companion to grilled meats, hearty stews, or aged cheeses.
This blend showcases the versatility of Paso Robles, where diverse varietals come together to create a wine that is both expressive and balanced.
