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.

Wow, so big, so fruity, a bit sugary. It’s old school cool, like a true OG CA Zinfandel. — a month ago

Richly sweet flavor profile of berry and cherry, with hints of spice and smokiness. Heavy but to too much so. Very smooth finish. A high quality wine, and more enjoyable than other Cab Sauvs that I’ve tried. — 2 hours ago

Clear, pale ruby in color; on the nose, it's clean with medium intensity primary and secondary aromas of raspberries, pomegranates, and cloves; on the palate, it's dry with high acidity, low tannins, medium alcohol, medium body, and pronounced intensity primary and secondary flavors of cherries, cranberries, dried leaves, and hibiscus with a long finish. This wine is complex and balanced. Overall, I rate this wine as very good. Nellie likes it too. — 18 days ago
