2010 | Linne Calodo | Martyr

Shows a touch of dusty, loamy earth amid the firm dark berry, road tar, tobacco and dried sage flavors. Very complex and understated despite the ripeness and depth on display. The addition of Tannat lends this added backbone.

Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: Trevisan’s take on a Bandol, the 2010 Martyr checks in as a blend of 77% Mourvedre, 12% Syrah, 7% Tannat and 4% Grenache. Deeply fruited and rich, it dishes out rocking aromas and flavors of sweet red fruits, licorice, toasted spice and a wild array of cured meat-like qualities that keep you coming back to the glass. Full-bodied, rich and downright sexy on the palate, it’s easily the most textured and rich of the lineup, it has the fruit to be enjoyable now, yet should age effortlessly for 10-12 years or more.

• Vinous: Deep, smoky aromas of cherry pit, chocolate and Indian spices. Powerful bitter cherry and licorice flavors are joined by a late note of dark chocolate and supported by gentle acidity. Shows serious power and tannic grip, finishing with deep dark fruit compote flavors and excellent length. This is still a baby.

Producer Information

Founded in 1998 by Matt and Maureen Trevisan, Linne Calodo's name pays homage to the rich soils in the esteemed Paso Robles Willow Creek District. The team grows grapes, makes wines and fosters an environment that shies away from traditional, rigid and archetypal industry norms. Studying biochemistry at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo and working his way up at area wineries, Matt's winemaking style is a healthy balance of art and science. Linne Calodo produces seven to ten blends per year using a myriad of varietals: Rhone, Zinfandel, as well as other esoteric varietals from around the world. The Linne Calodo wines are driven by four factors: vineyard location, uncompromising viticultural practices, minimalist winemaking, and the desire to learn from experience. The vineyards are farmed sustainably and the crop loads reflect the natural balance of the vine. The Linne Calodo team believes in harvesting at the peak of ripeness to produce wines that are rich and concentrated in both flavor and texture. You are encouraged to visit!
