L’Aventure Paso Robles Willow Creek Côte à Côte 2021

Love the garrigue herbs on the nose, this captures the exuberance of Paso in its seductive vibrancy and easy pleasure, balancing it with freshly cut herbs, fennel and white pepper, liquorice, bilberry and raspberry fruits. Sculptured and textured, long ageing ahead. Fermented and aged in amphora, cement vats and 33% new French oak. There was no release last year, ensuring a little more time in bottle before release. A dry season, similar to 2019 and 2020, few extremes of heat except for two or three days during harvest, producing a lovely wine from the Asseo family.
