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.
Leading the pack is the Hoffman Mountain Ranch. Among the wineries in Paso Robles, this one has specialized in Burgundian varieties. Starting their operations in 1964, it uses its own locally grown wine grapes in producing the best Pinot Noir in the area. Even though their supply is not that much compared to the others, each sip is packed full of smooth and vibrant flavors.
Anna's Estate Vineyard was primarily an experiment before it realized that their operations is reliable and has the potential to succeed. Clone and rootstock is integration in making their wines and in turn, it has given all their blends this specific essence that has caught everyone's attention. They are very well-known for their earthy and chocolate-y flavor. Named after Elizabeth Van Steenwyk's grandmother, their Syrah wine is their specialty.
Among all the Adelaida wineries, Michael's Estate Vineyard is the only one that works with dry farm land. With its numerous different slopes and hills, it provide great source of different flavors in which the estate easily take advantage to. Among their high-quality wine varietals, their Zinfadels is truly their main focus and has ever since been revered by their guests.
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.
Built and managed by Don Van Steenwyk, Bobcat Crossing Estate Vineyard has earned the hearts and taste buds of wine enthusiasts. It is individualized in Adelaida Cellars as the sole manipulator of farming on sandy loam lands. They have managed to harvest varieties of Portuguese crops that are transformed into Touriga Nacional, Tinto Cao and Souzoa, and Muscat Blanc. Aside from that, they are also known for their single-blend techniques in wine making that brings out a fruit and acidic tang in their vino, most especially their superior Touriga Nacional.
