Location
"The westside of Paso Robles enjoys unique soils and climate, and has a larger diurnal swing than any other appellation in California, which results in an unusually wide range of microclimates. This allows winemakers a broad palate of wine components from which to blend deep complexity. The calcareous and chalky, rock soils are also unusual to California and are reminiscent of the esteemed Chateauneuf du Pape area of France. These conditions are perfect for grapes, as it challenges the vines to produce small berry clusters of marvelously concentrated grapes," said owner David Hardee.
