Castoro Cellars 2005 Due Mila Sette Red (Paso Robles)

  1. $37
Refined and elegant, yet very tannic and dry, this Cabernet-based Bordeaux blend has deep, inviting flavors of blackberries, black currants, chocolate, cassis and cedar. Notable for its structural complexity.  — S.H.  (10/1/2009)

Castoro Cellars 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon (Paso Robles)

  • Best Buy
  1. $15
Soft and lush in blackberry-infused chocolate, cherry, licorice and roasted oak flavors, with a hint of red currants, this Cab is, in a word, delicious. It represents how fine Paso Robles Cabernet can be in the right hands.  — S.H.  (5/1/2008)

Castoro Cellars 2003 Reserve Syrah (Paso Robles)

  1. $18
Here’s a lush, juicy Syrah, rich in black currant, cherry, blueberry, chocolate and coffee flavors that are so long and deep, you just can’t help liking it. The wine is soft in texture, and achieves real deliciousness and complexity.  — S.H.  (5/1/2006)

Castoro Cellars 1998 Vineyard Tribute Zinfandel (Paso Robles)

  1. $18
This is a slightly more intense version of the regular Castoro bottling, with an extra punch to the berries and a little more zip in the finish. A clean, bright, focused wine, precise and polished, with a natural elegance. Good balance throughout.  — P.G.  (3/1/2001)

Castoro Cellars 2003 Venti Due Anni Red (Paso Robles)

  1. $27
A blend of four Bordeaux varieties with 25% Zinfandel, this wine shows its origin in the soft texture and raisiny midpalate. It’s a plushly pleasant, full-bodied, tannic wine with Cabernet-esque qualities, while that Zin adds a wild, brambly, spicy note.  — S.H.  (5/1/2006)

Castoro Cellars 2003 Due Mila Cinque Red (Paso Robles)

  1. $38
Powerful yet austere and hard in dry tannins. Impresses for the depth and length of blackberry, blueberry, currant, tobacco and cedar, but is locked down and resistant. A good wine but a curious one whose future is difficult to predict. Could develop over the next 2–4 years.  — S.H.  (10/1/2009)

Castoro Cellars 2004 Bien Nacido Vineyard Pinot Noir (Santa Barbara County)

  1. $20
Paso Robles-based Castoro reaches to this famous vineyard for Pinot Noir. The wine is a little hot and rustic by Bien Nacido standards, but satisfies for dryness, silkiness and jammy black cherry flavors.  — S.H.  (11/15/2006)

Castoro Cellars 2001 Zinfandel (Paso Robles)

  1. $14
A solid effort from a southland appel lation, fully ripened with brambly wild blackberry and cherry-pepper flavors, but balanced in alcohol and without any residual sweetness. A distinctly California wine.  — S.H.  (4/1/2004)
