6 Best Wineries in Paso Robles, California to Visit - AFAR
"Founded in 1989 as a collaboration between the Perrin family of Château de Beaucastel and the Haas family of Vineyard Brands, this estate pioneered Rhône-style winemaking in California on a rocky limestone site that the teams felt resembled the southern Rhône. The property practices certified organic and biodynamic viticulture, operates a vine nursery that has supplied cuttings to more than 600 wineries nationwide, and offers reserved tours of its vineyards and nursery plus tasting options that include current and older releases. Standout bottles include a pithy, tangy grenache blanc with melon-skin and kiwi notes, and the flagship Esprit de Tablas, a mourvèdre-grounded blend showing dried violets, pomegranate, chaparral, and dusty, Châteauneuf-du-Pape–like elegance." - Bryce Wiatrak
