Passo Robles is coming into its own as a great wine region and this turned out to be a great choice. Nice burst of fruit and good balance of tannins leaving a good mouth feel. — 6 years ago

Again under rated by the professionals. Chronic Cellars SOFA KING BUENO 2017 from Passo Robles is AMAZING!!!!! A blend of syrah, grenache, petite sirah, tannat, and Mourvedre. This is almost like an Organ Pinot noir except better!!!!! Its not overly complex, but so easy to drink with no sourness nor bitterness. Lots of cranberry and blackberry up front. There is also cherry!!! The finish leaves a lingering semi dry oaky dark chocolate and buttery finish!!!!!!! So YUMMY... As they say at Chronic Cellars, “Wishes in one hand. Chronic in the other.” — 7 years ago

Nice red for fall. Dark cherries, slight herbs, little cola, inky, nice mouthful, good balance and weight, some leather. My hunch is this def needs some air and time on the shelf. Solid 91+ and the potential to move up. But really it’s the price that shakes this tree, 12.99 WTSO. — 7 years ago
Loved this big red from Puglia, needs food to go with it but excellent value for the money. Find organic wines don't give me a headache or hangover — 8 years ago

STWC. Black fruit. Cherries and berries aroma. A whiff of grilled steak. Taste: bright sharp black fruit on the front. Lovely mouth coating tannins. Agreeably sharp. Lovely — 6 years ago
Gorgeous! Apparently first and only vintage that will be made of this. Moving forward it will be produced as a Brunello. Wish I could acquire more. — 6 years ago

Im at Depalmas Italian Restaurant in Athens GA and I am pleased with this blend: CHRONIC CELLARS - PURPLE PARADISE 2016 from Passo Robles - my fav little spot in Cali! 79% zin, 11% petite sirah, 6% syrah, and 4% Grenache. 14.5%ABV. It has all the spice of a great Zin and all the big bold dark fruit of a cab. Texture is amazing- velvet perfection with a slab of butter. This may be the perfect blend. A nice chocolate center and a not too dry finish. My new go to wine. KAPOW! — 7 years ago

It is a medium dark wine with a savory nose, showing violets, licorice, forest floor and a touch of cardamom. The palate is spicy, with black pepper and herbs joining the black berry profile. The tannins are quite firm and the acidity is fresh. It is a youthful wine which will pair nicely with a pork roast. — 4 years ago
