JanKris 2007 Ben Hogan Tribute Series Cabernet Sauvignon-Syrah (Paso Robles)
-
$27
Tannicly dry, but balanced and complex, with a silky, rich mouthfeel. Almost like a Chinon, although it has no Cabernet Franc. Under the tannins are rich flavors of cherries, red currants, violets and cedar. Now-2012.

JanKris 2004 Estate Crossfire Red (Paso Robles)
-
$10
JanKris is located in the cooler, westside Templeton Gap area of Paso Robles, and their wines are moderately priced. This blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah and Merlot is very fruity, with ripe blackberry, cherry, pomegranate, cocoa, tobacco and coffee flavors that finish softly dry. There’s something about the long, rich aftertaste that makes this balanced wine…
