Description: | Bob Tillman searched for several years for the site where he could plant a truly world-class vineyard. After the family moved to the Central Coast of California and tasted the wines coming out of Paso Robles, they knew they found the right region! In 2003, Bob found this beautiful hilltop property on Adelaida Road that would become Alta Colina. All the grapes on this property are organically farmed, and the fruit is so amazing that other Central Coast producers such as McPrice Myers, Sans Liege, and Paydirt get fruit from Alta Colina. Like the rest of their lineup, Alta Colina's Downslope wines are a wonderful reflection of their mountainous site. They farm incredibly steep hillsides in Paso Robles. The vines at the lowest-altitude sections of those slopes, where the soil is deeper and more fertile, make a different style of wine than the vines grown everywhere else. Those fertile soils mean less stressed vines, which create approachable and ready-to-drink wines. This approachable cuvee balances the power and structure of Syrah with the elegance and nuance of Grenache. The nose opens with notes of dark cherries and red currants, which lead to a soft and balanced palate with flavors dried cranberries and fresh blueberries |
