Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: Made from 67% Zinfandel, 17% Syrah and 16% Mourvedre, the 2012 Cherry Red has a Rhone-like perfume of black cherries, black licorice, smoked herbs and flowers. This flows to a pure, layered and sweetly fruited wine that has no hard edge, full-bodied richness and an up front, hedonistic style. It’s already complex and ready to go, yet I’m sure it will continue to impress for another 5-7 years.

• Vinous: The 2012 Cherry Red is silky, polished and graceful to the core. Rose petal, sweet red cherries and mint grace the palate in a perfumed, lifted wine full of character.

Producer Information

Founded in 1998 by Matt and Maureen Trevisan, Linne Calodo’s name pays homage to the rich soils in the esteemed Paso Robles Willow Creek District. The team grows grapes, makes wines and fosters an environment that shies away from traditional, rigid and archetypal industry norms. Studying biochemistry at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo and working his way up at area wineries, Matt’s winemaking style is a healthy balance of art and science. Linne Calodo produces seven to ten blends per year using a myriad of varietals: Rhone, Zinfandel, as well as other esoteric varietals from around the world. The Linne Calodo wines are driven by four factors: vineyard location, uncompromising viticultural practices, minimalist winemaking, and the desire to learn from experience. The vineyards are farmed sustainably and the crop loads reflect the natural balance of the vine. The Linne Calodo team believes in harvesting at the peak of ripeness to produce wines that are rich and concentrated in both flavor and texture. You are encouraged to visit!
