Wine Spectator magazine honors 14 Paso producers
The current, May 31, edition of Wine Spectator Magazine reviewed numerous Paso Robles wineries in its “Buyer’s Guide” section. Outstanding reviews and ratings were given to 14 of Paso’s most creative and exciting wineries.
In total, 38 wines were reviewed from these 14 producers, most earned ratings in the 90s. Once again Paso Robles is being recognized by the wine world as creating wines of excitement, high quality and creative expression.
Congratulation to the following on their continued outstanding achievements:
Law Estate Wines, only in their second release, had five scores in the 90s – The Nines receiving a 94 point rating. Torrin Vineyard, with four wines reviewed, all received scores in the 90s. Of note is that Scott Hawley of Torrin, is also the head winemaker for Law Estate Wines. Justin Smith of Saxum was no surprise with a review of his 2012 lineup, all receiving scores in the 90s.
Jordan Fiorentini of Epoch once again has shown consistency in producing another highly acclaimed lineup. Nick Elliot of Nicora, beginning his fourth release at the age of 33, has firmly established himself as another serious, creative winemaker.
And continuing their solid reputation of producing wines of the highest quality and consistency were several other well-known names: Terry Hoage with three wines reviewed, all in the 90s; Tablas Creek with three wines in the 90s; Jada Vineyards; Linne Calodo; Villa Creek; Booker; Denner; Caliza; and Cypher. All of these wineries were enthusiastically reviewed and highly rated.
Thanks to Wine Spectator for their recognition of the exceptional wines being produced in the Paso Robles wine region.
