Boutz Cellars’ 2024 Moschofilero marks a forward step in Paso Robles’ exploration of uncommon grape varieties.

MEA Wine’s 2022 Vermentino is an exemplary showcase of the estate’s small-lot, hand-crafted vision, grounded in their Adelaida District vineyard just west of Paso Robles. This bottling reflects winemaker John Merrick’s commitment to varieties that express sense of place—a tradition celebrated at MEA’s artisan-focused tasting room in Atascadero. In 2024, this vintage garnered a Gold Medal at the San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition, underlining its quality among contemporary Paso Robles whites. From the glass, the wine exudes a vibrant Mediterranean energy borne of cool nights and limestone-rich soils. Expect fragrant aromatics—ranging from sea breeze and citrus blossom to white peach—followed by a palate defined by bright acidity, dry orchard fruit, and a lingering saline lift. The texture remains light and lively, with a clean, energetic finish that invites pairing with shellfish, roasted vegetables, or herb-roasted chicken. This Vermentino exemplifies MEA’s philosophy: precision farming, artisanal winemaking, and wines meant to be enjoyed. Sincere Wines Online Tasting Notes:
The 2023 Front Rows A Rosé from Via Vega Vineyard is a crisp, expressive wine made from estate-grown Aglianico, Primitivo, and Grenache. The name Front Rows A pays tribute both to the vineyard block where the fruit was grown—marked “Front Rows A” at the end of the row—and to the feeling of sitting in the best seats at a ballgame: close to the action, full of anticipation, and part of something memorable. Winemaker Larry Gomez brings that same energy to this vibrant Paso Robles rosé, crafting a small-lot wine that’s both bright and flavorful. It’s an honest, refreshing bottle with a playful spirit—made for warm days, shared meals, and first-row experiences. The experience delivered in glass lives up to the name: floral aromas and a crisp personality dominate, making it feel effortlessly sophisticated yet invitingly relaxed. Tasting the 2023 vintage calls to mind bright fruit, subtle spice, and a lingering liveliness—like an evening by the water with friends or a seaside shared meal. It’s a wine designed for moments that matter, framed by Paso vineyards and approached with sincerity and charm. Sincere Wines Online Tasting Notes:
An overview of this delicious wine from owner and winemaker Steve Gleason: The 2019 Kharis is a bold and artfully blended red from Four Lanterns Vineyard & Winery, drawing from their estate sites—Glass Hawk Vineyard (Willow Creek District) and Jackie’s Vineyard (Templeton Gap AVA). Composed of 54% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Syrah, and 6% Tempranillo, this wine offers a seamless fusion of Rhône power and Bordeaux poise. With an alcohol level of approximately 14.9%, the Kharis vintage showcases intense dark fruit wrapped in warm spice, supported by a structure that promises both richness and age-worthiness. Four Lanterns describes it as “full flavored with dark fruit and spice, balanced by smooth tannins and acid”. Reviewed blindly for Wine Enthusiast, the 2019 Kharis reveals “very rich and extracted aromas of blackberry and toasted wood,” with a palate that’s “very dense, rich and ripe”—a testament to its layered complexity and the expressive nature of Paso Robles fruit. Each varietal brings something distinct to the blend: Cabernet Sauvignon lays the foundation with firm tannins and cassis-driven depth; Syrah adds savory spice, violet, and a plush mid-palate; while the small addition of Tempranillo introduces earthy nuance and structural finesse. Together, they create a wine that’s powerful without being overwhelming, refined yet approachable. The balance of dark fruit, oak influence, and textural polish makes Kharis a compelling bottle to enjoy now, but also one with the bones to evolve gracefully over the next 5–7 years. It’s a wine that demands attention at the table, particularly alongside grilled ribeye, rosemary lamb, or wild mushroom risotto. Sincere Wines Online Tasting Notes:
The 2022 Dolcetto Estate from Clesi Wines eloquently captures the charm and vivacity of this Piedmontese variety in a Paso Robles setting. Sourced from the Nevarez Vineyard in the Templeton Gap AVA, this is Clesi’s signature red variety—one of the first they made and now a staple of their Italian wine repertoire. With an ABV around 13.5%, the wine embraces Dolcetto’s naturally juicy, inviting profile while maintaining an elegant structure. It embodies Chris Ferrara’s belief in wine that is both food-friendly and soulfully expressive—rooted in California terroir yet inspired by Italian tradition. Clesi describes this Dolcetto as "elegant fruit and complementary structure," noting flavors of black cherry, violets, licorice root, and fig jam, all supported by refined tannins and balanced acidity. The wine’s 14 months in oak—10% new French oak and the remainder neutral barrels—lends a subtle warmth without overwhelming the varietal’s character. It’s a red that’s joyful and welcoming, designed for the table and best enjoyed with pasta, poultry, pizza, or a lively family meal. Sincere Wines Online Tasting Notes:
The 2023 Somos Café de Olla by Rúakh Wines is an evocative and unconventional wine that defies category, inspired by having the spiced coffee drink known as café de olla, which originates in rural Mexican kitchens. Rúakh’s interpretation captures the earthy, warming essence of this traditional beverage and channels it into a complex, aromatic red wine experience. While still technically a wine, this bottle walks the line between natural winemaking and culinary art, layering bold spice, roasted character, and textural intrigue. Crafted in Paso Robles with a bold vision and minimal intervention, Somos Café de Olla isn’t just a wine—it’s a conversation piece. This 2023 vintage opens with a captivating nose: an interplay of piloncillo (raw cane sugar), cinnamon, and dried chili, lifted by a faint note of orange zest and dried herbs. The palate follows through with rich, savory depth—think black cherry, baking spice, and a smoky, earthy undercurrent—balanced by moderate acidity and soft tannins. It’s bold, textural, and deeply rooted in cultural expression. Whether sipped slowly on its own or paired with mole poblano, roasted root vegetables, or dark chocolate desserts, this bottle offers a singular journey through memory, place, and flavor.

The 2024 Chardonnay from Escolle Vineyard by Zanoli Wines is a standout example of cool-climate elegance from the Santa Lucia Highlands.

Crafted with precision, the wine balances freshness and richness beautifully, offering a medium-bodied palate with crisp acidity and a smooth, mineral-driven finish. It reflects both the unique terroir of Escolle Vineyard and Zanoli Wines’ commitment to crafting wines with finesse and expression. Highly praised by critics, this Chardonnay earned an impressive 94 points from Wine Enthusiast, recognizing its depth, balance, and refined character. It is a versatile wine perfect for pairing with seafood, poultry, or creamy pasta dishes, and it holds promise for further aging.
