Perfect blend of sweet, acid, and minerality. Very light in flavor (especially for the straw color) but flavorful. Honeysuckle, lime zest, and granite. — 3 years ago

Zin isn’t my favorite but leave it to denner to knock it out of the park! Blackberry compote and eucalyptus with a mild tannic structure! — 4 years ago

This dark wine - opaque, in fact - has a powerful nose. It packs a perfumed aroma package consisting of dark fruit - like blackberries - and only a limited supply of the earthiness which I often find in a Paso Robles Cab. There is a savory streak, to be sure, and it throws leather, tar and a pine forest into the nose. The chalky aspect of the Paso dirt comes through on the palate, which is heavily influenced by the earth and the two years spent in barrels. — 4 years ago

Loved this. There was a nice acidity to this which I didn’t expect. It was like a very ripe piece of citrus and had some orangey qualities to it. Very refreshing and I wish I had more. — 5 years ago

A deep ruby GSM. Big fruit. Black and red fruit, with cranberry jam. Just a jam fest of flavor. Moderate tannins. Lingering finish. — 6 years ago

From Anthony Yount (also makes Kinero in addition to his main gig at Denner), this is a terrific, lighter style of clairette blanche. Has kind of a tight temperature window where it really signs - too warm and you lose the acidity, too cold and you lose the aromatics - but in its sweet spot just below 50 F it’s perfect. Will be interesting to see if it puts on a little weight with another year or two in bottle (which could be cool). — 4 years ago

This is actually Ryan’s “Been Away Too Long” bottling, a 100% mourvedre sourced from Denner. If you don’t know these wine, do yourself a favor and try a few bottles. In my opinion he makes the best pure mourvedre outside of France. Unlike most mourvedres, Ryan’s are elegant - more like a grenache - but with great depth of flavor. His wines are very approachable when young, but definitely put on some weight and depth with a few years in the bottle, so my rating will absolutely go up with time. Terrific wines from a small, excellent winery in Paso. Check it out! — 4 years ago

A three-bottle-night was not the plan...but there you go. Terrific wine from Anthony Yount. Started off with Cris Cherry at Villa Creek, and now is making great wines at Denner, this is is red offering, which complements his amazing whites under his Kineros Cellars label (the “Alice” being the best grenache blanc you’ll find for the price anywhere in the world). Terrific grenache-driven blend, this is not one for long ageing, but a terrific one to open now. Well done, from one of the best young guns from Paso! — 5 years ago

Love tasting what this wine is like with just the fruit left to speak for itself without wood to modify it. Lush dark fruit on top of a tart! — 5 years ago

I have never had Angelus so I don’t know if this is “the angelus of Paso Robles” but it is damn fine! The merlot and cab franc balance out each other nicely for a silky, structured wine that is easy just to sip or can be pontificated about! — 4 years ago

I believe this was a one off production for Booker. Jada Vineyard is located near Denner.

I followed this over two days and if I would have guessed blind, there is no way I would have guessed 60% Grenache on either day (although day 2 showed more finesse and lift) as it seems more dominant Syrah. This is high-toned and juicy. Great nose to it. Aromatically, there is licorice, melted dark chocolate, ripe and baked dark fruits, herbs de Provence, and charcoal. It’s already fairly soft and plush on the palate. Bite of tannin and heat toward the mid palate and finish, but it’s certainly not as heavy or dense as you’d expect. Grenache shows up briefly with some pepper and a small reveal of dried red fruits at the core. I think this is in a good drinking window. I believe @Paul T- Huntington Beach helped me get my hands on one of these a while back... — 5 years ago
