Terry Hoage 2006 5 Blocks Cuvee Red (Paso Robles)
- $38
Just terrific, a dark, dense and full-bodied Rhône-style wine of immense charm. Based on Syrah, it shows intense blackberry, leather, bacon and cedar flavors, with a blast of black pepper, wrapped into sturdy, ripe tannins. Now–2012.

Terry Hoage 2004 The Hedge Syrah (Paso Robles)
- $45
This 100% Syrah is dark and dramatic looking, with a glyceriney sheen to the inky purple color. Feels soft and voluptuous, and very oaky, too. But the oak works well with the oodles of ripe blackberry, blueberry, cocoa and anise flavors.

Terry Hoage 2007 5 Blocks Red (Paso Robles)

Extremely high alcohol shows up as heat throughout, especially in the finish. That aside, this Rhône red blend has lots to like. It’s dry and full-bodied and soft, with complex flavors of blackberries, currants, chocolate, leather, anise, black pepper and sandalwood. Drink now with rich meats and cheeses.

Terry Hoage 2007 The Pick Red (Paso Robles)
- Online Exclusive

Feels a bit one-dimensional now, showing fruit and oak sweetness and ripe, forward cherry pie and spice flavors. Could age, but the simple structure suggests otherwise. Drink this southern Rhône-style blend now.

Terry Hoage 2007 The Hedge Syrah (Paso Robles)
- Online Exclusive
- $48
A bit hot in alcohol, and glycerine gives a sugary-sweet edge to the blackberries, black cherries and oak. There might even be some residual sugar. If you like your reds soft and on the sweet side, and lots of people do, it’s for you.
