2016 Torrin Tsundere
Community Tasting Note
Decanting Queen Likes this wine:
93 Points
Saturday, July 31, 2021 - Dark and youthful in color. Floral and fruity on the nose, lots of structure, smoother on day two. Predominantly fruit on the palate with some pepper and and cinnamon. I like this A LOT but I think it will be even better with a few more years of cellaring. I need to try more Torrin!

But seriously, Paso is very polarizing. There are many that I don’t like and my first reaction to an unknown Paso cab is ‘no thanks.’ But I am learning there are some real gems. Can’t wait to make a visit one of these days

In the 2019 vintage, he joined fruit with Vice Versa to produce Vice Versa's Les Cousin which the popular CSIMM1161 awarded 100 points in a review on 7/27/21. Given its scarcity and probable price tag, I expect to never taste it. Admittedly, most Paso Cabernet cannot compete with Napa, let alone Napa's best, but a couple can. And Jen, everything Torrin produces is wonderfully crafted. By all means, search it out. >John
