L'Aventure Paso Robles Estate Cuvée
| Vintage: | 2019 |

| Description: | Tasting Notes\r\nThe pure currant and blackberry aromas are so bright and vivid. Very aromatic. Lots of pure fruit. It\u2019s full-bodied with tension and focus, because the tannins are fine-grained and give form and energy to the wine. They are very long already. I think three or four years will really bring this red into its own. Blend of syrah, cabernet sauvignon and petit verdot. Try after 2024, but hard to not drink now.\r\nBlend: 50% Syrah, 35% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Petit Verdot \r\nJeb Dunnuck 100 Points \r\nJames Suckling 97 Points \r\nRobert Parker 96 Points\r\nAbout L'Aventure\r\nL'Aventure was founded in 1998 by a French winemaker, Stephan Asseo. After Stephan graduated enology school in Burgundy, the Asseo family bought their first estate, Domaine de Courteillac, in the Bordeaux area in 1982. Later, the family purchased additional properties: Chateau Robin and Chateau Fleur-Cardinale in Saint-Emilion. Stephan raised these properties to a level of great quality, while managing some other well-established domaines such as Chateau Guillot-Clauzel in Pomerol and Chateau Corbin in St Emilion.\r\nStephan saw in the New World a unique opportunity to expand his experience, while gaining more freedom in viticulture and vinification. He began by looking all over California for land, including Napa\/Sonoma and Santa Barbara counties, but it was the terroir and climate of Paso Robles that impressed him the most.\r\nL'Aventure is located on the west side of Paso Robles in the Willow Creek District. The 127-acre property with 57 acres planted, is comprised of multiple hills of various elevation and complex soils. Because of its proximity to the ocean, the vineyard has clear warm days and drastic cool nighttime temperatures which increases the time of the grape\u2019s maturation cycle providing fruit that creates a more complex and balanced wine. Stephan\u2019s choice of this lean terroir provides him with the fruit necessary to create wine with a good balance between alcohol and acidity. The resulting wines are full and rich yet well balanced and elegant. |
