2009 | Paul Lato Wines | Il Padrino Bien Nacido Vineyard Syrah

Full-bodied, with velvety tannins and a spicy finish. This is dense and powerful. This is very voluptuous and upfront.

Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: The 2009 Syrah Il Padrino Bien Nacido Vineyard Hillside Block demonstrates what Lato can do with higher quality fruit. The wine bursts onto the palate with layers of black pepper, cassis, sweet herbs, plums and black cherries. This shows marvelous cool weather firmness and minerality along with a clean, bracing finish. A blast of dark blue and black informs the awesome, explosive finish. The 100% new oak barrels are integrated beautifully. This is a fabulous wine from Paul Lato.

• James Suckling: Loads of dark fruits with crushed black pepper, licorice and meat on the nose. Full-bodied, with velvety tannins and a spicy finish. This is dense and powerful. This is very voluptuous and upfront.

Producer Information

Passion, quality, and authenticity. These are the guiding principles of our small, artisanal winery dedicated to producing Burgundy and Rhone varietals. Paul Lato is a former sommelier who studied wine extensively and traveled the world before starting his winemaking operation on the Central Coast in 2002. Though their style is inspired by the balance and harmony, they also seek to capture the intensity of flavor that is a hallmark of sun-kissed California vineyards. Through small-lot boutique production, minimal intervention in the winery, and purity of intention, the team works to achieve elegance in the bottle that showcases the unique qualities of these amazing sites. The ultimate goal is to create wines that are seamless and textural with the structure and balance to complement fine cuisine.
