Cerro Prieto 2006 Paso Bordo Cabernet Sauvignon-Syrah (Paso Robles)
- $49
Tasted in late winter, this blend of Cabernet (85%) and Syrah (15%) was fruity and chocolaty, with a pastry sweetness that was a bit simple. But by early summer it had acquired greater depth and balance, and seemed drier and better structured. Shows real charm and finesse. Drink now–2010.

Cerro Prieto 2007 Reserve Merlot (Paso Robles)
- Online Exclusive
- $39
Ultrasmooth and luxurious in the mouth, with the fine tannins and complex cherry, blueberry, anise and mocha flavors of a fine red wine, and the finish is dry and lingering. It’s a bit soft and hot, but a lovely Merlot to drink now.

Cerro Prieto 2008 Paso Bordo Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon (Paso Robles)
- $37
This ripe, rich wine can’t quite get around its alcohol level, which is 15.8%. That gives it some heat, as well as a sweetness that makes the blackberries, cherries and raspberries taste like jam. Earns points for the clean, unapologetic interpretation of Paso Robles fruit.

Cerro Prieto 2008 Reserve Merlot (Paso Robles)

Overripe and Porty, with raisin, prune and chocolate flavors that finish hot and slightly sweet. The heat simply overwhelmed this Merlot.
