Minassian-Young 2004 Red (Paso Robles)
- Editors' Choice
- $18
Just delicious, a blend of Syrah, Mourvedre and Grenache that shows how well Paso Robles can make these Rhône reds. The wine is soft and voluptuous, with complex flavors of blackberries, cherries, raspberries, milk chocolate, licorice and cinnamon spice. Finishes long and rewardingly dry.

Minassian-Young 2005 Estate Zinfandel (Paso Robles)
- $20
What a great Zinfandel this is. It’s lusty and hearty, just the way you want a Zin to wash down barbecue, but it also has balance and even elegance, despite the high alcohol. The ripe blackberry and cherry flavors are jammy, complexed with spicy tobacco and chocolate, and a pure finish of cassis.

Minassian-Young 2005 Syrah (Paso Robles)
- $20
Does a good job of making a Syrah in a distinctly Paso Robles style. The wine is very soft and velvety, but dry, with forward black raspberry pie filling, mocha and cinnamon spice flavors.

Minassian-Young 2007 Mourvèdre (Paso Robles)

A pleasantly dry wine, with cherry and cocoa flavors that finish in a swirl of licorice and cinnamon spice. It’s a soft, fruity sipper with a touch of heat from high alcohol.

Minassian-Young 2008 White Rhônoceros (Paso Robles)
- Online Exclusive
- $18
Rather heavy and soft and overtly sweet, but delicious, with a swirl of pineapple, Meyer lemon, apricot, peach, vanilla, cinnamon, white chocolate and honey flavors. Nice as a cocktail sipper, and maybe with spicy Vietnamese or Thai food.

Minassian-Young 2004 Cabernet Sauvignon (Paso Robles)
- $18
This Cab has 20% Mourvèdre in it, which adds an exotic chocolaty and mulberry note to the blackberries and cherries. It’s a full-bodied, fairly tannic wine, and nicely dry, but there’s a taste of shriveled berries or raisins that makes for some bitterness.
