Not far from the Hearst Castle off of Hwy 101 sits the wine town of Paso Robles. With over 200 wineries, here are some of my favorite picks.
In the west of Paso Robles, Adelaida Cellars Inc, is spread across 145 acres of land which feature 5 unique estates that arguably produces the best wine varietals in California. Surrounded by the breeze from the Pacific Ocean, high topographies and chalk rock limestones, Adelaida has developed really well thanks to the climate. It is devoted to using more sustainable energy and methods and in 2010, Adelaida was recognized for its tremendous efforts in its environment-friendly practices.
Hoffman Mountain Ranch is well-known for their knowledge in Burgundian varieties. With this, Hoffman has enjoyed reverence from locals, winemakers as well as visiting guests. Ever since it started producing vino in 1964, it has gradually progressed and prospered in the wine industry. They are only able to put out limited wine bottles each year. However, one you taste it, you would certainly get to experience a party in your mouth.
Names after Elizabeth Van Steenwyk's grandmother, Anna's Estate Vineyard produces a unique spin on their wine varietal that have people coming back for more. It depends on clone and rootstock to develop this distinct flavor in their wines. Each and every wine blend, most especially their Syrah, possess this earthy flavor tinged with milk chocolate taste. Due to this, Anna's Estate Vineyard has experienced success in tasting rooms.
Michael's Estate Vineyard is an excellent winemaker that exploits all the benefits of dry farming. With their vast dry farm lands, their wines hold numerous flavors packed in one drop of wine. They offer a bunch of wine varietals that are all specially made, but their Zinfadels take the cake. Everyone truly has high praises for it.
Fairly young compared to the vineyards nearby, Viking Estate Vineyard started their wine factory in 2007 on an edge of a ravine. Although its area proves for others to be quite difficult to grow grapes in, the vineyard chose to focus all their energy to Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Malbec, Petit Verdot and Syrah. They have maintained the best-tasting varieties in their winery, most especially the Cabernet Sauvignon.
Specializing in single-grape wine varietals, Bobcat Crossing Estate Vineyard is worth a visit. They are distinguished for their refined and smooth wines, most especially Touriga Nacional, Tinto Cao and Souzoa, and Muscat Blanc. It is amazing how their use of sandy loam soil has caused abundant growth of Portuguese crops. This method has injected a fruity and acidic flavor to their wines, most especially Touriga Nacional, that pegged them as one of the most unique wineries in the area. Propelled by Don Van Steenwyk, Bobcat Crossing Estate Vineyard is now highly regarded in the wine industry.
