2012 OUTSIDER From the famous Heaton Ranch, the Zinfandel in this wine draws a clear distinction to the west side Paso Robles Locality. A very focused wine of 72% Zinfandel,22% Syrah,6% Mourvedre. While Imake three different Zin blends each year,the Outsider stands out as the black sheep. The wine is every bit as enticing as the Problem Child or Cherry Red,but the specific block of Zin has a different acid profile. I like showcasing this profile in an effort to show vineyard terroir.The PC block is only 25 feet away on one edge. Crazy how soils change and the resultant grapes follow. This wine is meaty,a meal by itself. Best served with your favorite steak, pizza or hearty soup. I'm sure there are many other things that Outsider will go well with,so please let me know. Thanks and enjoy. 700 cases produced
