Torrin
The Maven Grenache Blend
Paso Robles, Central Coast, California, USA
I’ve only had Torrin’s Syrahs, and they are one of the few Paso producers who seem to knock it out of the park for my style. Glad I got to try this.
My first note here was strawberry purée alongside black peppercorns. Very aromatic and pretty, with plenty of spice and red fruited aromatics. Gorgeous red/light purple in the glass. It’s one of those wines that has a richness to it without being flabby. Good acidity. I pop and poured this and it was ready to go, with more spiced red fruit on the palate like rhubarb, crunchy underripe blackberries, herbal spice and more peppercorns. I re-corked and had the remaining third later in the evening and it seemed to have bulked up. Good now, and has room to improve a bit. Delicious.

Late night snack,
My favorite Maven of the 3 vintages I’ve tried, 14,15,16
This wasn’t 100% Grenache like the other two, this has 7% Mouvedre.
