They founded the property in 2008 with a focus on Rhône and Bordeaux varieties, all grown on their limestone, hillside estate in the Adelaida District.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 86 acres planted, multiple clones of Grenache and Syrah account for the majority of the vineyard acreage. Accompanying that are Cabernet Sauvignon, Mourvèdre, Carignan, Graciano, Petit Verdot, and Tempranillo. The vast majority of vines were planted in 2008. In 2013, the winery planted Clairette Blanche, Marsanne, and Roussanne, as well as a Syrah, Viognier, Roussanne field blend. Their most recent planting was in June of 2019 where they added Grenache Blanc.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMultiple clonal selections across each varietal were agreed upon and planted with the intent to produce wines that were far more complex and thought-provoking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Wine:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBeguiling is the estate's Grenache-driven red, and the 2023 draws on nearly every Grenache block on the property, rounded out with 12% Syrah for darker fruit and savory depth. Only 6% of the fruit was fermented as whole clusters, and the wine then spent 19 months in a mix of French oak puncheons and barrels (44% new), foudre and a concrete egg, a blend of vessels that adds polish and layers without hiding the fruit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe winery describes a dark, expressive wine with cherry liqueur and kirsch, candied red fruit, cranberry and raspberry, floral and warm-spice notes, crushed herbs and a hint of anise and gamey savor from the Syrah. It is medium-plus to full-bodied, with fresh acidity and ripe, grippy tannins. It is approachable young but built to evolve for a decade or more, with the winery pointing to 2030-2035 as the ideal window.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTechnical information:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAppellation: Adelaida District, Paso Robles\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSource: 100% Estate-grown, organically-farmed\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlend: \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e88% Grenache\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e12% Syrah\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFermentation: in concrete, with 6% whole clusters\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAging: 19 months in 85% French oak (44% new), 10% foudre and 5% concrete egg\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eRatings \u0026amp; Reviews\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e97 Points - Jeb Dunnuck:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Made from 88% Grenache and 12% Syrah, the 2023 Beguiling was fermented in concrete with 6% whole clusters and aged 19 months in 85% French oak (44% new), 10% foudre, and 5% concrete egg. Deep ruby and almost opaque, it offers ripe red fruits, pepper, herbes de Provence, and sandalwood nuances. Medium to full-bodied and concentrated, it has ripe tannins, flawless balance, and a great finish. This outstanding red will benefit from 2-3 years of bottle age and evolve for 15+ years.

It impresses further with its seamlessly silken character as depths of ripe wild berry fruits flow beneath an air of violet pastille, further enhanced by a licorice tinge toward the close. This maintains fantastic freshness through the long, staining finish, as ripe blackberry and lavender tones linger.
