L’Aventure Paso Robles Cote a Cote 2019

Stephan Asseo’s Rhone blend, full of nuance and pleasure and fragrance. This for me is the best of the L’Aventure wines in this vintage, for its beautifully enticing depths, fern and heather, freshly cut herbs, with the edge of spice turmeric and power crushed stones. Trace of heat on the finish, and although you can’t feel the impact, be aware of high alcohol before choosing when to drink. 12% amphora, 29% new French oak.
