2018 Royal Nonesuch Farm York Mountain Rhône Blend

SKU #1513123 95 points Vinous

Outer quote mark Inky violet. A powerfully scented bouquet evokes spice-accented dark berries, cherry preserves, smoked meat, potpourri and incense. Blends power and finesse with a sure hand, offering concentrated black raspberry, cherry cola, savory herb and floral pastille flavors that become spicier as the wine stretches out. Polished tannins lend shape to a very long, energetic finish that strongly echoes the floral and spice notes. (JR) Inner quote mark

94 points Wine Enthusiast

Outer quote mark Black plum, lilac and black pepper make for a deep and rich yet dry and savory combination on the nose of this blend of 67% Grenache, 18% Syrah, 14% Graciano and 1% Clairette Blanche. It's well wound on the sip, offering black-pepper, cassis, black-cherry and star anise flavors, all wrapped in chiseled tannins. (MK) Inner quote mark

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.
