Vina Robles 2001 Jardine Vineyard Petite Sirah (Paso Robles)
- $22
Pet fans will immediately respond to this wine. It’s a big, dark, extracted bruiser, with a hefty dose of tannins that sting the palate. The underlying flavors are of plums, blackberries, coffee and bitter chocolate. So dry it puckers the mouth.

Vina Robles 2002 Signature Red (Paso Robles)
- $28
Sweet in plum, blackberry and coffee flavors, rich in tannins and full-bodied, this dry wine has an edge of rusticity. Try with barbecue with a slightly sweet sauce. Petite Verdot, Syrah and Petite Sirah.

Vina Robles 2006 Syrée Syrah-Petite Sirah (Paso Robles)
- $39
Lots of juicy black currant, dark chocolate and black pepper flavors in this dark, dry, full-bodied blend of Syrah and Petite Sirah. But the alcohol of 15.8% makes it fiery hot.

Vina Robles 2009 Estate Cabernet Sauvignon (Paso Robles)
- $24
This is and properly dry, with smooth tannins and high acidity that lends some sting to the palate. The berry and earth flavors lack some intensity. Drink now.

Vina Robles 2004 Signature Red (Paso Robles)
- $34
An unusual blend of Petit Verdot and Syrah, this shows a green peppercorn streak to the modest cherry fruit flavors. Medium-bodied, very dry and pretty tannic, could use more richness and depth, especially at this price.

Vina Robles 2001 Huerhuero Vineyard Syrah (Paso Robles)
- $24
The herbal-fruity aromas are a hypothetical blend of raspberries and roasted tomatoes, while the flavors thankfully favor raspberries. Plump, but a bit candied and slick-feeling, with some drying tannins on the finish.

Vina Robles 2004 Roseum Syrah (Paso Robles)
- $13
This blush wine has Viognier blended in with Syrah. It’s a pretty salmon color, and has flavors of raspberries, peaches and vanilla. Fully dry, it will be nice with grilled salmon.

Vina Robles 2002 Cabernet Sauvignon (Paso Robles)
- $19
Despite a roughness around the edges, this Cab appeals with its ripe flavors of cherry jam, blackberries and espresso coffee. It’s very dry, with a soft complexity that makes it easy to drink.
