Big Basin 2012 Paderewski Vineyard G-S-M (Paso Robles)

Country: US / Paderewski Vineyard
Variety: G-S-M California
Winery: Big Basin / Paso Robles

This is one of the winery’s last takes on this vineyard, as they move their focus to Santa Cruz and Monterey counties. The nose is blackberry liqueur lifted with chopped black sage, fennel stalk and tobacco leaf. Flavors run from dark red fruit to black spices to tartness on the finish, like a balsamic reduction sauce.
