This wine is very pale gold with a slight green tinge. The aroma is fresh to the point of florality. There are the expected citrus notes with grapefruit dominant. The green aromas which typify this variety are more towards guava, fig and gooseberry. For a California wine it has a high degree of minerality. Flavors in the mouth present a fine tension between the sweetness of fruit and the sharpness of the acid.
This unusually rich version of our No Oak is a pale silvery gold. There is the expected fresh fruit aroma, but an intriguing confectionary note of toffee as well. It should come as no surprise that there are honey notes in a Chardonnay, but this one is a sort of lavender honey. There’s a bit of minerality. The palate is rich, soft and balanced. If I didn’t know for a fact that it’s entirely tank fermented I might guess that it was fermented in neutral barrels.
This wine has medium color and extract. It has the typical cherry jam fruit that Paso is known for. The oak is subtle and perfectly contains the other flavors. The mouth is plush with fruit flavors, but also has enough tannic grip in the finish to work well at the table.
This wine is deep true red in color. It has that red cherry and plum fruit aromatic that is so typical of Merlots from our region. There is also a hint of dried herbs and some vanilla from the oak ageing. The flavors on the palate are rich sweet and expansive. The aroma at this point does not clearly indicate the pleasures to be found in the mouth. This wine is very rich and satisfying to drink at the moment. - See more at: http://www.tolosawinery.com/wines/red-wines.php?wine=151#sthash.7FNxozVS.dpuf
