2012 Denner CirrusPaso Robles Willow Creek District Grenache Blend, Grenache more |
7/13/2018 - ppeterson99 wrote: 91 pointsJust wonderful paired with roasted chicken. Classic Paso Grenache. Big mouthfeel with smoky, stemmy, chewy body backed by subtle deep fruit of plum, blackberry and black cherry. Smell of garrique, charcoal and subtle fruit. Must have been whole cluster fermented? |

11/25/2016 - ppeterson99 wrote: 89 pointsWe are big fans of the winemaker and this wine. And so were very surprised to be disappointed with this bottle. A perfectly fine Paso GSM but lacking anything special, very neutral overall. Second bottle paired with roast was a cabernet which was wonderful so perhaps part of my disappointment can be chalked up to the pairing. |

2008 Denner The Dirt WorshipperCentral Coast Syrah Blend, Syrah more |
11/30/2013 - ppeterson99 Likes this wine: 95 pointsWonderful. Decanted about 45 minutes. Definite Syrah colors with deep dark integrated purple berry fruit notes well integrated with an earthy base. At with Italian food. Definitely ready to drink now. I don't think I'd wait much longer despite the original Denner tasting notes recommending 2017-2018 |
