On the palate; the body is very full. The tannins, big, meaty and sticky. Ripe, ruby fruits of; blackberries, blue fruits, black plum, black raspberries, creamy raspberries on the edges, cherries & strawberries as it opens, dark chocolate, mocha, caramel, vanilla, light herbal notes, black licorice, huge dark rocky minerals that hard grip the palate on the longer set, dark rick semi-sweet soils, tough leather, dry stems, some graphite, dark spice and lavender & violets. Nice round acidity with a rich, ripe, well balanced finish.

Lithe yet voluptuous, powerful yet nimble on the palate, like dancing the tango: proper yet sexy, brambly yet so smooth Cordoban leather takes a backseat to Po de Poeira. Still frisky for a 2008! Wish I could get more but I was lucky to find this one slightly dusty bottle. Que saudade! — 10 years ago

Glad I've been buying from this Pasos Robles winery for about 10 years now. A Big Boy at 15.6 ABV, decanted 2 hours ahead. Pleasantly not an alcohol bomb. Fantastic nose. Dark dried cherry, dirt, licorice, iron. Very chewy.
80% Paderewski vineyard.
58% Syrah, 18% Mourvedre, 14% Grenache, 10% Petite Sirah. Imaginative blend!
Not my favorite of theirs, but never disappointed. 9.2 — 8 years ago

Greg Hobbs featured opening wine for us at The Artisans of Barossa. This is his Tango for the two grapes in the blend...Shiraz and Viognier. The two make for an excellent wine that just kept dancing better and better as they opened up. Greg was a Police Officer for 10 years before buying property in Barossa. Quite a transition! Greg's property right next to Chris Ringland's. — 8 years ago

Figured I would start strong. This is my first taste of Peter Michael's Pinot, but he seemed pretty fired up about it. His other wines are unbelievable. Cracking this open in a couple of hours, so I'll update this after. Update: cherry cola, leather, the fruit is clearly exceptional, and the winemaking just accents it flawlessly. Long, lingering finish. This is unbelievable wine. I've never had a better Pinot. Paired this wine with a dry-aged prime ribeye with a balsamic cherry reduction. Dead ringer. The two did the tango right across the palate. — 10 years ago
