2023 Halter Ranch Rosé

Paso Robles Red Rhone Blend more

5/7/2024 - isaacjamesbaker wrote: 91 points

Beautiful watermelon color. The nose gushes with strawberries, raspberries, watermelon, along with salty, seashell tones, and plenty of breezy meadow, wildflowers, hay, and basil. Deep texture on the palate with brisk acidity and pure fruit flavors (strawberries, raspberries, white cherries). The non-fruit complexities really make this wine sing, and I get notes of mint, wildflowers, chalk dust, limestone, some green tea. Complex and rich but crushably delicious, too.

2023 Halter Ranch Effervescent Rosé

Paso Robles Adelaida District Rosé Blend more

5/7/2024 - isaacjamesbaker wrote: 91 points

Pale rose color with a light spritz. The aromas sport tangy red cherries, red apple peel, wild raspberries, mixed with complex tones of dandelion, white pepper, celery seed, some orange zest in there as well. Crisp and punchy on the palate with zesty acidity, fine bubbles, and a nice textural depth. The flavors of crunchy red apples, raspberries, and cherries blend well with notes of minerals, talc, white pepper, dried roses. Pure fun but also packed with complexity. Crowd-pleasing and should be a hit with wine nerd crowds, too. Don’t let the twist cap fool you, this is good stuff.

I always thought coming from Paso Robles that the CDP moniker might be a nod to Châteauneuf-du-Pape as I find the Rhone region and Paso Robles to grow similar grapes but in their own unique style. I was told while on a visit to the winery that CDP is a reference to the grapes and not a region. That may be, but this still has all the character of a Châteauneuf-du-Pape with a bit more of that California fruit forward style. This did not disappoint. I'm sipping as I type and the finish is still...not finished. Always happy to drink this wine when I can.

Excellent - really nice cab sauv, petite Verdot and Malbec blend

Lot of strength of darker rich fruit with smooth, strong tannins that are integrated fairly well here

Nice finish

Smooth, almost no tannins, lots of long red fruit, limited earthy tones. Not a complex wine, but I enjoyed it and so did my guest.

2 hr open bottle before drinking.

Chocolate and raspberry notes throughout. The nose was more fruity but on the palate it was overwhelmingly chocolate and raspberry. Very delicious and drinking great now.

Still drinking well, a bit on the fruity side with mild structure. A soft mouth feel, round. Very smooth drinking.

Popped and poured with some wine friends, served at cellar temp. Stored in optimal conditions for 3 years.

The Tannins were almost non-existent. Nice acid and fruit on the palate, but the wine just doesn't have a lot of body or complexity. The wine does have a nice long finish, and a surprising amount of fruit on the finish for a wine where the tannins have left the building. Did the winemaker use an additive? Makes me ask the question.

I fell in love with this wine when tasting in Paso several years ago, it showed lots of promise. So I bought a case of it. This was my first time tasting the wine in nearly four years, was hoping for more.

This wine strikes me as an example of a lot of Paso Wines, many (not all) are built for short-term consumption and just not made to age a long time. It is still good, perfect candidate for popping with a friend for a social glass or with really good burgers or roasted chicken. This also is going to be something I bring out as the second or third bottle when socializing with non-wine friends.

Calling it an 87 on a non-inflated CT scale. Cost was about $35 all-in for the bottle, makes it an ok value.

This wine is awesome. I’m a HR fan and I’m really becoming a Tannat fan. Wife selected this wine because the drink by date was 2023. This is nonsense. Expect this wine to last and perhaps improve over the next five years. Be patient and you will be rewarded.

I have tried three earlier vintages of this wine and the 2020 is consistent with them. Primarily a Grenache based wine, it is well crafted with good body and lovely dark fruit flavors of black cherries, plums, and blackberries. The finish is smooth. An excellent example of the fine Rhone Valley style wines now available in Central California.
