L'Aventure "Cote a Cote" Willow Creek District Paso Robles Proprietary Red 2020

Wine Advocate : 98 Points

(12/30/2022) The 2020 Cote a Cote is a beautiful blend of 45% Grenache, 30% Syrah and 25% Mourvedre and one of the most successful wines I tasted from the challenging 2020 vintage. Deep ruby-purple, it offers pure aromas of blackcurrant, boysenberry, tar and pipe tobacco, continually unfolding with each return to the glass. The full-bodied palate offers wave after wave of perfumed fruit and tremendous spicy accents. It's powerful yet harmoniously structured with powdery tannins and seamless acidity, and it offers a very long, detailed finish. Drink 2023 - 2028.
