2006 Linne Calodo "Nemesis" Paso Robles Rhône Blend

SKU #1127870 94 points Wine Advocate

Outer quote mark The 2006 Nemesis (which I rated 93+ in issue #177) continues to perform beautifully. A blend of 82% Syrah, 14% Mourvedre, and the rest Grenache, the wine exhibits a dark ruby/purple color as well as a sweet blackberry, cassis, charcoal, lavender, graphite, and floral-scented bouquet, terrific fruit, a full-bodied, French-like personality, and impressive purity as well as length. Consume it over the next decade. These are very individualistic and impeccably well-made wines that deserve considerable attention. Moreover, prices are very fair given the wines’ high quality. (RP) Inner quote mark (8/2009)

93 points Jeb Dunnuck

Outer quote mark The 2006 Linne Calodo Nemesis (a blend of 82% Syrah, 14% Mourvedre and 4% Grenache) has spiced red fruits, boysenberry, meat, blood and licorice aromas leading into a awesome palate. Rich, sweet and with a mouth coating texture, this has a serious finish. Inner quote mark (11/2009)

91 points Int'l Wine Cellar

Outer quote mark Bright purple. Intensely perfumed bouquet of blueberry, cassis, black pepper and spicecake. Sappy dark berry flavors are sharply etched and gain sweetness with air, picking up fine-grained tannins. Brighter red fruits appear on the finish, which is impressively precise and energetic. Here again, I'd have guessed this to have a higher percentage of grenache. (JR) Inner quote mark (12/2008)

Country:

United States

- When people consider domestic wine, they normally think about the state of California. The fine viticultural Region within California, including the Napa Valley, Sonoma, Santa Cruz Mountains, Mendocino and Santa Barbara, are capable of growing grapes of world-class quality. But there's plenty of fabulous wine coming from other states, too. Oregon, Washington and New York are also causing eyebrows (and glassware) to be raised around the world.

Sub-Region:

California

- With the explosive growth that California's wine industry has seen the past several years, it's easy to view winemaking and grape growing in the Golden State as a recent phenomenon. And while it's true that California's viticultural history is brief compared to several European countries, this state's roots date back well over 200 years. Due to the enormous response to California wine within the United States and worldwide, there are thousands of excellent and diverse wines being produced within the state each year.

Specific Appellation:

Paso Robles

- Located about halfway between San Francisco and Los Angeles, this inland AVA enjoys a sunny and hot growing period while its seaside neighbors hang in the fog. Zinfandel is the traditional red grape of choice, though cabernet, chardonnay, and Rhône varietals are gaining favor. Most are made in a fruit-forward, early drinking style.
