The Teo red Rhone blend is a full-bodied extracted wine made from two lots of Syrah et Grenache - West Paso Robles and Edna Valley. Cool and warmer climate sites add elegance, complexity and power. The cuvee is named after one of Sofia’s son.
Tasting Notes
A concentrated nose powerfully reminiscent of Syrah and the Northern Rhone with notes of black pepper, black fig, dark chocolate, teriyaki, black olive and dry plum. On the palate meaty and juicy flavors of marinade, raspberry, toasted oak and
white pepper. The mouth feel is long with supple tannins of black fruit and spice. Delicious now but with the concentration and extract to age for up to a decade.
