Optio Vineyards Aer 2023, Paso Robles, California Dark inky in color with a short purple rim. Strong nose of blackberries, black currants, cooked plums, cedar, vanilla, licorice, tobacco, coffee, dried figs, spices, chocolates, black pepper and light herbs. Full-bodied and smooth with medium acidity and long legs. Dry and very fruity on the palate with black currants, blackberries, black plums, cooked cherries, spices, cedar, licorice, chocolates, tobacco, herbs and peppercorn. Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries. This is a delicious Petite Sirah/Tempranillo blend from Paso Robles. Elegant, spicy and smooth. Complex, bold and entertaining. Tangy and interesting. Drinking very nicely right out of the bottle with lots of Petite Sirah notes. As it opens up, the Tempranillo shows up. Really loved the nose after 3 hours of airtime. Delicious now, and will continue to age nicely in the next 7 to 10 years. Good by itself as a sipping wine or with food. Paired very nicely with Havarti cheese. A blend of 50% Petite Sirah, 40% Tempranillo and 10% Mourvedre. 15.3% alcohol by volume. 92 points. $62.
