Dark, inky wonderfully developed nose on this stunning wine. Black cherry, blackberry and some earthy mineral om the palate. The finish is long filled with layers of fruit and spice. This wine is tight and benefits from a good stay in the decanter. A true gem that is worth every penny!!!!!!

I think Clayhouse has gone for quantity rather than quality with this wine. Each vintage this wine just seems to become more and more simple. There is manufactured fruit smell on the nose and palate. Used to be a fan of this wine and winery but I think I'll be looking else where. Too many other quality offerings from Paso.

The 2009 Luzon offers more of the same dark ruby color and enticing, spice notes, black cherry, and blueberry as prior vintages have. Once again the palate shows great personality with spicy flavors, lively acidity, and a finish full of fruit. This is a great value!
