4/24/2024 - mliszt Likes this wine: 96 points

opened at 2:30 and left in bottle and started to drink at 5:30. just wonderful and better than i expected not that i should doubt Torrin. not one to speak of tasting this and that, but i go for aftertaste and smoothness and if good with food. to me no negative after taste, as easy to drink as can be and does enhance the food i am eating (tomatoes and burrata) i find the 2016 Paso's really doing well right now and this will not disappoint. how much longer it has I leave to the experts but i will try one a year for the next 4 years and then i will be out of stock

Decanted three hours. Dark. Bold black fruits, blueberry and pepper. Some burn from 15.8% alcohol that didn't let up. Full bodied with integrated tannins and a long finish. 2019 vintage was much smoother and more precise.

2021 Torrin The Banshee

Paso Robles Willow Creek District Red Rhone Blend more

4/20/2024 - Sanlucar Likes this wine: 92 points

Massive fruit bomb, very jammy, with rugged tannin and high alcohol (15.7%). It's just been released; time will soften and round out the sharp edges. Difficult to consume on day 1, so I drank most of it on day 2 (very wise move). Rated 92 points because of the super intense flavors of Mourvedre (40%) (wild herbs, violets, sage, lavender and roasted thyme) and the balance of Syrah (31%) and Grenache (29%). Oak & smoke are evident but under control and not excessive; solid wine.

2019 Torrin The Banshee

Paso Robles Willow Creek District Red Rhone Blend more

4/16/2024 - AGELVIS Likes this wine: 94 points

One hour decant. Very very deep magenta color. Black cherry, slate, peppercorn, plum skin, sea salt laden chocolate, nutmeg, rose petals, and subtle roast beef. Smooth, dry palate, with sizzling acidity. Firm tannins on the medium long finish. 47% Mourvèdre, 35% Syrah, and 18% Grenache

Although Rhône blends are not my thing these days, this was quite good. It’s rich and clearly well made. Big thanks to Decanting Queen for the fun bottle. Melissa also thoroughly enjoyed it.

Incredible mouthfeel. Bold effort. Blackberry, Chambord, slight saline, kalamata olives, burnt ends and pepper. Still has 15 years ahead of it. Superb

Pnp on the heels of the 2017 Torrin Banshee. Dark berries, spice, meat and earth. Rich, smooth and mouthcoating. Grainy tannins and a long finish. The 2017 was more precise and better integrated.

Two years since previous notes, mostly the same. Paired with pizza, short decant. This wine blew away the 2020 Booker Vertigo consumed alongside it (similar blends). Good precision and balance.

3/3/2024 - JRockEsq Likes this wine: 90 points

Nose: black cherry, vanilla

Palate: blackberry, vanilla; long+ finish of baking spice, light scorched earth, dried herbs; dry; medium body; medium to medium+ acidity; medium very fine tannins

Overall thoughts: Simple and not what I expect from Syrah, even a warm climate one. That being said, it was tasty, balanced, and had great tannins. Pretty great wine.

A background of smoke and licorice, this is velvety with black fruit and, when paired with spicier food, a pink grapefruit note. Opened up over an hour in a decanter.

A very good Grenache! Used Coravin over 3 days and got better on days 2 and 3. Red fruit - mostly cherry, licorice, spice and only a small hint of pepper. Medium color, very soft tannins, and a decent finish. I really enjoy Torrin wines!

Absolutely stunning wine with a one hour decant. 47% Mourvèdre, 35% Syrah, and 18% Grenache, all putting forth their best characteristics. Seductive entry, velvety tannins, great plush mouthfeel. Dense muddled Marionberry, smokey blueberry, faint sweetened strawberry, anise and slight charcoal. Building depth with time in the glass, this is a polished, classy and hedonistic offering by Scott Hawley. Bravo.

3/18/2024 - Gnieboer Likes this wine: 92 points

Intriguing bottle. Strong acids upfront focus the fruit on a sour cherry presentation. The tannins on the backend have clearly softened after nearly 10 years, but hold up to the frontend and make a nice finish. After about seven hours in decanter, though, the last glass did kind of go flat and get muddled. I'd say this is ready to drink now.

I agree with two of the three most recent reviewers, this bottle was in decline and showing a lot more secondary/tertiary character, with minimal fruit notes. I would look for occasions to drink your last bottles sooner than later.

Just like we tested at the winery. Need to give it 2 hours of decant at this stage of its life. Will wait for at least 1 year before having the next bottle.
