Decanter: 10 Paso Robles Vineyards & Wineries to Visit

Dacanter, the venerable British wine magazine, turns its spotlight to Paso Robles. We're one of author Julie Albin's recommendations: "This area, especially the Adelaida District, charmed winemakers with its maritime terroir of steep slopes and calcareous shale soils that retain moisture like a sponge. This allows some producers such as Tablas Creek Vineyard to dry-farm. Taste its biodynamic Rhône-style wines by walk-in or by booking a tasting experience. A short walk from the tasting room is the original nursery and vineyards where the estate’s herd of sheep and alpacas can be spotted."

93 points: 2017 Patelin de Tablas Rosé (Wine&Spirits)

"This rosé is mostly grenache and mourvedre; it captures the cool side of Paso in its freshness, with bright flavors that could substitute for strawberries and cream at a Sunday morning tennis final. Fragrant, smooth, and gracious, it's a rosé that feels complete on its own, and completely integrated." (Joshua Greene, September 2018)
