Description
"Esteemed critic Robert M. Parker, Jr., believes the Paso Robles area of the Central Coast shows some of the greatest potential in all of California." Food & Wine, October 2007
Lot 1--Linne Calodo
Linne Calodo is a name to take seriously and a reference point for all that can be achieved in the region of Paso Robles today. Although only in his mid-thirties, Linne Calodo proprietor Matt Trevisan is already one of Paso Robles's most accomplished producers."
Special Instructions
The following reviews and scores are all from Mr. Parker. All wines were obtained directly from the winery and have been properly stored.
Contrarian 2006—"the Contrarian, is a brilliant combination of Roussanne and Viognier that's a California version of a famous white Hermitage from France," 93 points
Nemesis 2005, "Trevisan's biggest, richest wine is the Syrah-dominated Nemesis, a blackberry liqueur–like bottling with enticing aromas of acacia flowers," 94-96 Points
Outsider 2005, "Trevisan is one of the few Paso Robles producers to recognize the potential of the region's old-vine Zinfandel, which he blends with Syrah and Mourvèdre and labels with fanciful names such as Problem Child, the Outsider and Cherry Red. Any one of these wines will make the taster a believer not only in Zinfandel, but also in the idea that it is at its best when blended with some Mourvèdre and Syrah, which give it a nobility and complexity that the grape doesn't exhibit in a 100 percent varietal wine," 94 Points
