6 Bottles L'Aventure Optimus Red Wine 2022 750ml

Other Red Blends from Willow Creek District, Paso Robles, Central Coast, California Notes from the Winemaker Optimus is the perfect introduction to the L'Aventure lineup. Also known as our “crazy” Paso blend, Optimus is beautifully balanced with a lot of freshness. This wine is approachable young but can be enjoyed for up to a decade. Blend: 66% Syrah, 25% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Petit Verdot Reviews and Accolades 93 Points/Vinous A deep purple hue, the 2022 Optimus opens in the glass with a whiff of savory herbs, licorice and cocoa powder accentuating dried black cherries. This is luscious and round with fleshy wild berry fruits and sweet spices that swirl throughout. Zesty acidity enlivens the experience, as a subtle note of fine tannins adds form, tapering off with length yet only lightly structured. I love the energy here.
