Linne Calodo Paso Robles Sticks and Stones 2017

Winemaker Matt Trevisan's 71% Grenache, 22% Syrah, 7% Mourvèdre blend captures the wild-card spirit of Paso Robles in 2017. Aged 15 months in concrete and French oak foudre, this wine shows beautiful black, blue, and red fruit that opens to reveal ground pepper, flowery incense, and spiced aromatics. Full-bodied yet polished with sweet tannins, it drinks with remarkable elegance—a wine that proves California's Central Coast can rival Rhône benchmarks.
