Pretty good and great QPR ! (1672 views) | | | Tasted by Wineson on 7/30/2014: "Incredibly drinkable" - Emma. Very nice - Jen (1973 views) | | | Tasted by Wineson on 10/25/2013 & rated 89 points: Jammy. Nice (2413 views) | | | Tasted by Wineson on 1/13/2013 & rated 90 points: Solid, fruity wine. Great QPR. I suppose that it suited my palate. (2929 views) | | | Tasted by BlackIce on 12/19/2012 & rated 86 points: For the price I suppose it is good. Some fruit, acid and even a bit of charcoal (which I like). Great QPR. (3044 views) | | | Tasted by rallylizard on 4/5/2012 & rated 89 points: Excellent bright color. Fairly aromatic with ripe fruit and some floral notes. Much different than most Paso wines I've tasted, very much toned down with a smoother method and subtle French oak (no oak monsters here! Thank you!). There are some mineral tones and even a grassy barnyard flavor going on, I have 3 more bottles so will post if this does not continue with the others. I actually enjoyed it, but it threw my wife off (we tasted blind). Because of the design we were all over figuring it was some hot spot in S. France or Spain. The fruit is obviously ripe, but nothing else coincides with typical Californian wine. I love being surprised on blind tastings, this presented an exquisite change of pace and we thoroughly enjoyed its high quality fruit presented in such a fashion. At $15 this is certainly a good QPR and worth a try if you come across some. (2458 views) | | | Tasted by carlsport on 1/20/2012 & rated 88 points: A solid sipper. Nothing extravagant going on here, but nice oak aroma and a light berry pickup on the palate. Smooth and balanced. Good QPR. (2212 views) | | | Tasted by mpchs1988 on 8/26/2011 & rated 92 points: This was a pleasant surprise. Great oak on the nose and palate. The blueberry is very strong thru the entire taste. Its a bit overpowering. Color is light red and pleasant. I would drink this again. No decant (2665 views) | | | Tasted by jersyko on 2/4/2011 & rated 91 points: Tons of oak right out of the bottle. An hour later, I smell oak and blackberry. Color is a darkish violet red. Berry flavor, nicely balanced. Quite good overall.

| Peachy Canyon Producer website
Located in beautiful Paso Robles, Peachy Canyon is a small family owned winery on the Central Coast of California. Experience the acclaimed wines of Paso Robles Westside at Peachy Canyon Winery. The winery has been family owned and operated since 1988 by the Beckett family. Located on California’s Central Coast, there are two tasting rooms open to sample our award winning wines. Although Zinfandels dominate the Peachy Canyon tasting menu, you will find Cabernets, Merlots, and special blends that are available to sample. Each wine poses unique characteristics with distinguished qualities and is why the whole Peachy Canyon team works so hard to pick only the best Paso Robles fruit while supporting the local growers. Doug Beckett also makes sure 'each wine is released in the peak of its youth,' the Becketts feel they give their customers the choice to either enjoy the wines young or cellar them for a later date.2007 Peachy Canyon Cabernet Sauvignon Old School HouseWine club notes (10/09): Beautiful dark garnet color, sweet ooak, dark chocolate undertones, berry and light cherry notes, well balanced with delicate tannins, very approachable, drink now or hold! 14.2% alcohol, harvested 10/09/07, unfiltered. 442 cases produced.
Bottle notes: Grapes used to produce this Cabernet were selected frm our Old School House vineyard. these quality grapes are a result of igh quality soils, ideal climate and hands-on farming. This estate vineyard is located on the westside of Paso Robles within the Templeton Gap. This wine will gain in complexity and character over the next few years. Cabernet SauvignonCabernet Sauvignon is probably the most famous red wine grape variety on Earth. It is rivaled in this regard only by its Bordeaux stablemate Merlot, and its opposite number in Burgundy, Pinot Noir. From its origins in Bordeaux, Cabernet has successfully spread to almost every winegrowing country in the world. It is now the key grape variety in many first-rate New World wine regions, most notably Napa Valley, Coonawarra and Maipo Valley. Wherever they come from, Cabernet Sauvignon wines always seem to demonstrate a handful of common character traits: deep color, good tannin structure, moderate acidity and aromas of blackcurrant, tomato leaf, dark spices and cedarwood.
Used as frequently in blends as in varietal wines, Cabernet Sauvignon has a large number of common blending partners. Apart from the obvious Merlot and Cabernet Franc, the most prevalent of these are Malbec, Petit Verdot and Carmenere (the ingredients of a classic Bordeaux Blend), Shiraz (in Australia's favorite blend) and in Spain and South America, a Cabernet – Tempranillo blend is now commonplace. Even the bold Tannat-based wines of Madiran are now generally softened with Cabernet SauvignonOld School HousePeachy Canyon wine label: ... Our Old School House vineyard. Located on the westside of Paso Robles within the Templeton Gap, the vineyard benefits from the year around ocean breeze. This influence allows for an extended growing period producing exceptional fruit ....USAAmerican wine has been produced since the 1500s, with the first widespread production beginning in New Mexico in 1628. Today, wine production is undertaken in all fifty states, with California producing 84% of all U.S. wine. The continent of North America is home to several native species of grape, including Vitis labrusca, Vitis riparia, Vitis rotundifolia, and Vitis vulpina, but the wine-making industry is based almost entirely on the cultivation of the European Vitis vinifera, which was introduced by European settlers. With more than 1,100,000 acres (4,500 km2) under vine, the United States is the fourth-largest wine producing country in the world, after Italy, Spain, and France.California2021 vintage: "Unlike almost all other areas of the state, the Russian River Valley had higher than normal crops in 2021, which has made for a wine of greater generosity and fruit forwardness than some of its stablemates." - Morgan Twain-Peterson Central Coasthttp://www.ccwinegrowers.org/links.html
